A new home for old dental tools

This is an email I just sent out to about 30 dentists around Melbourne. I hope it is all spelt correctly. And if you know anyone in this industry who you think might be helpful for me or who I could contact, please leave a comment. Thanks


Hi,

My name is Mark Whiting; I am an RMIT student studying Industrial Design. Currently I am working on a project that intends to re-purpose retired dental picks for use by model making and sculpture students. Tools currently sold for this purpose are low quality and the higher quality alternative, new dental picks, are prohibitively expensive for students.

Does your company regularly cycle its picks and would you be interested in contributing to this project? We would be very appreciative of anything you have to offer.

Many Thanks,

Mark Whiting
