As a practicing pediatrician and former assistant professor of pediatrics, Dr. Ray Wagner saw the effects of baby bottle tooth decay first hand. He was especially concerned about early childhood tooth decay because it is a completely preventable disease. He knew that parents needed something easy to use that would be effective in promoting oral health. Dr. Wagner created the idea of a convenient, disposable wipe that parents could could use anytime or anywhere they needed to clean baby's teeth and gums (Spiffies Tooth Wipes Brochure). Dr. Wagner and his wife Marti founded DR Products in 2003 to make dental wipes available everywhere.
