Abstract
Any type of material for flossing the teeth with indicators to guide the user in the placement of their fingers on the floss, tape or any type of related material while flossing.
Description
Title IMPROVED DENTAL FLOSS, TAPE
Field of Invention This invention relates generally to Dental Hygiene and more particularly to dental floss, tape and any other type of material related to flossing with indicators to guide the user and facilitate the placement of their fingers on the floss, tape or any other type of related material while flossing.
Background of information We all know that old saying "floss only the teeth you want to keep" that is how important flossing is. But if the floss or tape or any other type of related material are not used properly, you are not helping your hygiene but rather doing more harm.
"Using too long a piece of floss between the fingers when held for insertion could cause cuts or clefts primarily on facial or lingual surfaces directly beside or in the middle of the interdental papilla. They appear as straight line cuts from the gingival margin towards the microgingival junction".
- snapping the floss through the contact - not curving the floss enough - floss held straight across the papilla - using too much pressure SUMMARY OF INVENTION
The principle object of the present invention is to put some indicators on or in the dental floss, tape or any other related material which would show visually or physically friendly to the user a reasonable space in between the fingers for a better control while flossing.
Any colored non-toxic dye may be used to identify these areas. In regarcl to physically friendly the dental floss, tape or any other related material will feature some localized areas to be rougher or thicker surfaces and will help the visually impaired.
One inch and three quarters would be a reasonable amount of floss to roll the used floss on the fingers and another indicator on the floss would be used again to go in between the teeth. The indicators are about three quarters of an inch.
