Toothsure, a company that makes oral hygiene products specifically designed for patients in long-term care at healthcare facilities, said it's building a new factory in Kentucky.
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear announced the company's plans to establish a new operation in Perry County with a $7.3 million investment, creating 60 new, full-time jobs at a wage of $55.25 per hour, including benefits.
That starting wage is well above the national average of $36.59, according to the Federal Reserve.
“The commonwealth’s surging economy is paving the way for investment and good-paying job opportunities for Kentuckians in every corner of the state,” said Beshear in a statement. “This is a welcome project for Perry County and the surrounding region, providing 60 new, quality jobs and adding to the diverse range of companies that call Eastern Kentucky home. I want to thank Toothsure’s leadership for believing in what the commonwealth has to offer and look forward to their future success.”

Toothsure’s expansion will consolidate and relocate the company’s full supply chain operations into a single facility to reduce the its dependence on out-of-state suppliers. It will also expand production capacity with equipment and increased manufacturing space for its OralVac and OralVac+ products.
The upgraded facility infrastructure and equipment also will support tighter quality control standards to ensure health care providers and patients consistently receive products of the highest standard. The new facility will be the company’s first in the commonwealth, with construction expected to begin in January 2027 and be completed later that same year.
