Abstract
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tooth cleaning and sterilizing apparatus, and more particularly, to a tooth cleaning and sterilizing apparatus capable of cleaning a tooth through a cleaning agent and removing anaerobic bacteria on the surface of the tooth through oxygen gas.
Food residues in the teeth or oral cavity may become corrupt as time elapses, causing a mouth odor, or causing various oral diseases such as cavities and gum diseases. To maintain healthy teeth and oral conditions, you should keep your mouth clean, often by brushing and rinsing your mouth with an oral cleanser.
Generally, toothbrushes and floss are used for cleaning teeth. However, it is difficult to completely remove food waste residing between teeth by using toothbrush and floss, and excessive use thereof may cause gum or periodontal damage. have.
Therefore, in recent years, a variety of oral cleaning apparatuses have been proposed which can wash the mouth by spraying the washing water. A conventional oral cleaning apparatus is an apparatus configured to remove water or a germicidal cleaning liquid at a high pressure to remove foreign substances trapped between the oral cavity and teeth. The apparatus includes a container for containing the cleaning liquid, a spray nozzle, a pump for supplying the cleaning liquid of the container to the spray nozzle As shown in FIG.
However, since the conventional oral cleaning apparatus is configured only to spray the cleaning liquid through the spray nozzle, the cleaning liquid is ejected to the outside of the oral cavity, so that it can be used only in a limited place such as a bathroom. Of course, it may be possible to prevent the cleaning liquid from splashing by closing the lips, but in such a case, the cleaning liquid which has been cleaned by the mouth is stuck in the mouth, so that it is inconvenient to periodically spit the cleaning liquid.
In addition, the conventional tooth cleaning apparatuses focus only on the cleaning of the teeth, and lack the ability to treat bacteria that cause tooth damage such as tooth decay.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a tooth cleaning and sterilizing apparatus capable of improving tooth health by performing cleaning and disinfection of teeth in a dentistry or a home.
A tooth cleaning and sterilizing apparatus according to the present invention comprises a tooth mounting unit for allowing a user to wear the mouth by mouth and a supply unit for supplying a cleaning liquid and oxygen gas to the tooth mounting unit, And a blocking unit which blocks the leakage of the cleaning liquid and the oxygen gas into the oral cavity which are brought into close contact with the user's gums and supplied to the tooth mounting unit when the tooth mounting unit is worn, An upper body and a lower body each having an inlet groove opened to an upper portion and a lower portion so as to allow the tooth to be introduced thereinto; a plurality of through holes formed in an inner wall of the upper body and the lower body; The cleaning liquid or the oxygen gas supplied from the supply unit through the formed main supply passage flows into the inlet groove And a supply connection connected to the supply unit to be introduced into.
The blocking unit includes a sealing tube extending along an edge of an upper end and a lower end of the upper body and the lower body and expanding when air is introduced into the inside of the upper body and the lower body to be adhered to a user's gum and an air pump .
The supply unit includes a cleaning liquid storage tank for storing a cleaning liquid, a cleaning liquid pump for pumping the cleaning liquid of the cleaning liquid storage tank, an oxygen cylinder for storing oxygen gas for supplying the oxygen gas, a cleaning liquid supplied to the tooth mounting unit, A recovery pump for recovering the oxygen gas, and a recovery tank for storing the recovered cleaning liquid.
Wherein the supply connection portion of the tooth mounting unit and the supply unit are connected through a connection line, the connection line is connected to a cleaning liquid supply line for supplying a cleaning liquid, an oxygen supply line to which oxygen gas supplied from the oxygen cylinder is supplied, An air supply line for supplying air to the tooth mounting unit, and a recovery line for recovering the cleaning liquid or oxygen gas recovered from the tooth mounting unit.
The tooth cleaning and sterilizing apparatus of the present invention can clean the tooth by supplying the cleaning liquid only by wearing the tooth mounting unit and can clean the tooth and the gum so that the tooth cleaning can be performed hygienically and easily.
In addition, the apparatus for cleaning and sterilizing teeth of the present invention can improve dental health by sterilizing anaerobic bacteria remaining in the teeth and gums through oxygen gas, and furthermore, .

The cleaning liquid may contain various cleaning components depending on the application.
For example, it can be formed by mixing ingredients such as eucalyptol, menthol, thymol, salicylic acid methyl chloride, zinc chloride and the like based on alcohol for sterilization and anti-plaque effect.
Or for the purpose of sterilization of bacteria in the oral cavity, the cleaning liquid may be composed mainly of benzethonium chloride.
And a sterilizing water such as hypochlorous acid water (redox potential water) and the like may be constituted.
In addition, when the user is infant or child, it is difficult to expect the removal of tartar because the alcohol component may be adversely affected. However, a cleaning liquid may be constituted to prevent tooth decay including fluorine component.
Oxygen gas is used to sterilize anaerobic bacteria such as Porphyromonas gingivalis bacteria among oral bacteria remaining in teeth or gums. The above-mentioned Porphyromonas jinjy valeriac is a representative anaerobic bacterium and has an enzyme that decomposes the protein, dissolving the gum to cause tooth loss and cause bad breath.
Since the anaerobic bacteria can be sterilized through the supply of oxygen, oxygen gas is supplied to the teeth and the gums entering the
The
In particular, in the case of oxygen gas, highly concentrated oxygen is supplied at a high concentration. When such oxygen gas is introduced into the body, oxygen concentration in the body becomes high, and hyper-oxygenosis can be caused. Oxygenemia refers to an abnormally high state of oxygen partial pressure in the blood. If this condition persists, it causes oxygen poisoning, which causes various lung disorders such as dyspnea, pulmonary edema, and blood clots, or central nervous symptoms such as seizures, Can cause.
