Abstract
A tooth cleaning device comprising a handle, and a pad coupled to the handle, wherein the pad has a front face, a back face and a plurality of side walls. There are a plurality of different areas disposed on the front face of the pad comprising a first area comprising a first set of protrusions, in a substantially semi-spherical shape, and a second area comprising a second set of protrusions in a substantially conical shape. There is also a third area of protrusions formed as a substantially conical shape, and a fourth area of protrusions formed as a substantially semi-spherical shape. The device can be formed as a pad which collapses voluntarily under pressure. The pad can be made from any suitable material such as any type of rubber or plastic.
Claims23
A tooth cleaning device comprising:
- a) a handle;
- b) a pad having a base section coupled to said handle, said base section having a front face and a back face;
- and
- c) a plurality of different areas disposed on said front face of said base section comprising;
- i) a first area comprising a first set of protrusions;
- and
- ii) a second area comprising a second set of protrusions, wherein said first set of protrusions are different in shape from said second set of protrusions wherein said first area does not include said second set of protrusions and said second area does not include said first set of protrusions;
- d) at least one additional area of protrusions, comprising at least one third area of protrusions, wherein said at least one third area of protrusions comprise a plurality of conical shaped protrusions;
- wherein said first area comprises protrusions that are substantially semi-spherical shaped, and said second area comprises protrusions that are substantially conical shaped;
