Description

  The present invention relates to a soft dentifrice tube and a lid thereof that can be used to clean the mouth of a user and assist in whitening teeth.

People have a certain demand for appearance and courtesy since ancient times, but with the development of science and technology, the demand for beauty has become more universal. The pursuit of beauty by people is all about attention, from the style to the skin and teeth.
For example, taking teeth as an example, teeth are generally yellowed due to long-term consumption such as coffee, cola, tea, colored foods (soy sauce), etc., and eating and drinking habits such as smoking and betel wax.
In addition, external factors such as aging, dental calcification, and brushing habits and frequency can also cause tooth discoloration. For example, taking tetracycline drugs, residual copper in drinking water, mercury, lead, iron ions, etc. Alternatively, teeth that have undergone root canal treatment, or teeth in which nerves have been necrotized or heme has been precipitated due to trauma, also become dull in color due to lack of nutrients. When that happens, people can be overwhelmed by showing their teeth and laughing, or even losing confidence.

In view of the aforementioned tooth color problem, the American Dental Association (ADA) has developed the definition of “tooth whitening”. In other words, it is a process of obviously whitening the teeth. This process includes the steps of cleaning the tooth enamel and dirt and pigments, and currently known methods include cold light whitening, laser whitening, home whitening, whitening tape, and denture attachment.
In general, the dentist who teaches home whitening has the patient perform whitening on his own at home, and the effect should not be bad according to the principle, but it takes time for the effect to appear and the teeth are sensitive. It is no longer welcomed by busy modern people who are apt to become painful and seek immediate effects. Laser whitening is too high in drug concentration, teeth tend to decalcify and dehydrate, and sensitive people may feel pain.

  In recent years, a newly developed cold-light whitening device that removes pigments from the tooth surface and deep layers achieves a tooth whitening effect. The principle of this cold light whitening device is to conduct a specific wavelength (for example, blue light between 480 to 520 nanometers) through an optical fiber, remove all harmful ultraviolet rays and infrared rays with a specially processed optical lens, Irradiation on a special whitening agent applied on the teeth, causing redox effects on the whitening agent and pigments accumulated on the surface and deep layers of the teeth for many years through the dentinal tubules in the shortest time, coloring the teeth Recovering the previous whiteness. However, it is necessary to use a device for whitening the teeth, which is inconvenient for general users.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, so that a general user can easily complete the tooth whitening and cleaning process at home, and does not require a complicated process of using the device. It is providing the soft tube for agents and its cover.
