Problem is I don't see them getting lots of orders. There seems to be no marketing of this laser to dentists. Possibly there is no money to do a proper marketing campaign. Remember when we thought all the revenue from Laserbrush would be pumped into Millenium.... Well it ain'yt happening. There is no money for a proper campaign to sell toothbrushes. Talk of selling the toothbrush diivision to an interested party. That certainly would help. I believe the feeling is that the dental market is limited. We saw that Premier couldn't do it. Also at 40k a pop, dentists are a little reluctant to go for this , especially when it doesn't remove old silver fillings. I think we will have to rely on Laser Skin Toner and O'Donnell, and possibly other medical uses for the millenium.i.e. bone or orthopedics surgery. Still, this companies best chance in my opinion is takeover. It would be a great way for a company to get into the laser business. Blti has patents.
