Disposable oral hygiene applicator

A disposable oral hygiene applicator adherable onto the ball of a user's finger tip whose finger acts as an articulated handle by which the applicator may be swept in any direction over the teeth and gingival tissues in the oral cavity of the user, said applicator comprising:

• A. a circular base of flexible material having coated on its underside a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive, said base having dimensions corresponding substantially to those of the round ball to which it is adapted to be adhered and conformed;
• B. a circular array of flexible filamentary loops anchored on the circular base and projecting upwardly therefrom to function as bristles of an omnidirectional brush capable of sweeping the teeth and gingival tissues in any direction;
• C. a charge of dentifrice embedded in the loops which is released only when the brush is pressed against the teeth and tissues;
• and
• D. a removable flexible carrier disc adhered to the underside layer of the base and having a larger diameter to define a peripheral flange to facilitate removal of the carrier disc when the applicator is put to use.
