Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simultaneously perform tooth brushing by a brush and the rubbing of the gums by an elastic body by providing the brush and the elastic body of a height lower than a brush height together. SOLUTION: A brush part and the part of the elastic body 2 of the height lower than the height of the brush 1 are arranged on a brush surface. The elastic body part can be arranged on both sides of the brush part. Also, the elastic body part whose center part forms a recessed shape can be arranged on both sides of the brush part. For the material of the elastic body 2, natural rubber, synthetic rubber and sponge, etc., can be used. At the time of use, since the elastic body part 2 is brought into contact with teeth and the gums after the brush part is brought into contact with the teeth and curved, the brushing of the teeth and the gums by the elastic body 2 is made possible without losing the characteristics of the tooth brushing by the brush 1. The brushing of the gums by the elastic body 2 accompanies pressurization and blood circulation is improved not only on the surface of the gums but also to the deep part of the gums. Also, the pressurization by the elastic body 2 pushes out and removes food refuse accumulated between the teeth and the gums. Further, during the use, the elastic body is brought into contact with the teeth and removes stains stuck to the surface of the teeth more than the brush.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a toothbrush for brushing teeth and gums efficiently.

2. Description of the Related Art In order to prevent periodontitis and alveolar pyorrhea, it is effective to rub the gums to improve blood circulation.
Conventional brushes have the drawback that when they are hard, they tend to damage the gums, and when they are soft, their brushing effect is diminished. In addition, a brush using an elastic body in a brush shape mainly intended for friction of gums was not suitable for removing food residue between teeth and brushing teeth. In addition, brushing of the gums with these only improved the blood circulation on the gum surface.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

1. Mainly, it must be able to simultaneously and efficiently perform brushing and gum friction with an elastic body. 2. Efficiently removing the residue left between the teeth and gums. 3. Improve blood circulation deep into the gums.

[0003]

The present invention has solved the above-mentioned problems by providing a brush and an elastic body having a height lower than the brush height. As the material of the elastic body, any of natural rubber, synthetic rubber, sponge and the like may be used.

[0004]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the present invention, when the brush portion touches the teeth and curves, the elastic portion contacts the teeth and the gums. It becomes possible.

【The invention's effect】

1. The gum brushing by the elastic body is accompanied by pressure, and has an effect of improving blood circulation not only on the gum surface but also deep into the gum. 2. The compression by the elastic body has an effect of extruding and removing the food residue accumulated between the teeth and the gums. 3. During use, the elastic body contacts the teeth, but the dirt adhered to the surface of the teeth has a more effective removal effect than the brush.
