Co-founded by Simon Enever and Bill May, quip is an oral health company that provides designed products and professional dental services. The current offerings include a wide selection of one of the first American Dental Association accepted (ADA seal) electric toothbrushes, a subscription service on a dentist recommended schedule for brush heads and optional toothpaste, ongoing oral health advice and support, and incentives for timely dental check ups.
quip sold over one million of its American Dental Association accepted electric toothbrushes through its direct to consumer website since its launch in late 2015.
