The History of Spiffies

As a practicing pediatrician and 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 completely preventable. He knew that parents needed something easy to use to promote oral health.

Dr. Wagner created a convenient, disposable wipe that parents could use anytime or anywhere to clean their babies teeth and gums. He has also developed other Xylitol rich oral hygiene products.
