Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a tooth blushing method without using water. CONSTITUTION:Tooth brushing is performed by using a brush on which a paste form of a food, a pharmaceutical, a nutrient preparation or their mixture (abbreviated to 'paste material') composed of a material safely takable through a mouth for a human body is placed. The paste material has refreshing and a little strong taste. The paste material induces salivation during tooth brushing and the saliva is mixed with remaining substances in a mouth after brushed off. Since the mixture has nice taste, it can be swallowed as it is and accordingly the water for washing a mouth is avoidable.

Description

Description: [0001] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for brushing teeth without using water. Whereas the conventional technique is a constant and full-scale brushing method for cleaning teeth and preventing caries using water, the present invention is applicable to a short-term life field such as travel or hospitalization. An alternative brushing method.

[0002] [Prior Art] The following are conventional methods for brushing teeth.

a. A method in which a toothpaste, a powder brush, etc. (hereinafter referred to as a toothpaste material) is brushed with a toothbrush each time the toothbrushes, and then rinsed with water.

b. A method of brushing teeth with a single-use toothbrush with a small amount of toothpaste pre-attached, and then rinsing the mouth with water.

In these conventional methods for brushing teeth, since the toothpaste contains substances such as detergents and abrasives that the human body should not ingest, it was necessary to rinse the mouth with water and spit the water out. In order to brush your teeth, you need to supply and drain water, and for vehicles with poor toilet facilities such as passenger planes and sleepers, people are temporarily concentrated in the toilet in the morning and wait for their turn before brushing their teeth. , Was forced to wash his face. Also,
For the sick who could not move, it was necessary to bring rinsing water and to collect the rinsed water.

[0003] [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention relates to a method for brushing teeth without rinsing water, and aims to solve the following problems. To be able to swallow odorous saliva in the mouth before brushing teeth and residues in the mouth immediately after brushing teeth or immediately after brushing teeth.

[0004] [Means for Solving the Problems] Instead of toothpaste,
The problem has been solved by using a pasty food or drug, a nutrient, or a mixture thereof (hereinafter, these are abbreviated as a paste substance), which consists of substances that can be taken by the human body through the mouth.

[0005] [Operation] 1. Apply paste material to the toothbrush.

The toothbrush can be ordinary. A paste substance is a food or drug or nutritional supplement or a mixture thereof, which consists of substances that can be taken by the human body through the mouth. The seasoning may be sweet or light. To impart a refreshing sensation, flavors such as mint flavor, umeboshi flavor, fruit flavor, and other Chinese medicine flavors are added. The paste substance applied to the toothbrush promotes the secretion of saliva during tooth brushing, and the secreted saliva is mixed with this paste substance and the residue in the scraped mouth. The paste material should be heavily seasoned so that this mixed saliva also has a “delicious” taste.
However, for sick people, flavor and season according to the doctor's instructions. The paste material is packaged in single or multiple doses in tubes or small containers or small bags for convenient handling. Remove paste material from tube or small container or small bag and apply to toothbrush.

[0006] 2. Brush your teeth using a toothbrush with paste material.

The residue and paste material in the mouth scraped off during toothpaste mixes and dissolves in the new saliva secreted during toothpaste. Due to the aroma and taste imparted to the paste material, this mixed saliva is swallowed as "tasty."
There is no need to rinse the mouth with water as a refreshing sensation remains in the mouth even after swallowing mixed saliva. The toothbrush should be discarded after brushing.

Example 1 Example 1 A cream of cream puff was concentrated and flavored with a small amount of peppermint oil, and the tooth was brushed with a paste substance and a toothbrush to confirm the above effect.

Example 2 The above effect was confirmed by brushing teeth with a paste substance and a toothbrush in which rice porridge, umeboshi meat, dashi stock, soy sauce, and seasonings were rubbed together in a mortar.

The above examples use daily living materials. The inventor of the present invention has found that the use of alternative materials, the drying of paste materials,
Since I do not have practical knowledge in the food industry or laws such as additives to prevent spoilage and deterioration, it seems that some modifications will be necessary to carry out the examples industrially.

[0008] [Effects of the Invention] Since the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to brush teeth without using water, and the following effects are brought about. You can brush your teeth not only in poorly-equipped toilets such as passenger planes and sleepers, but also in places where water access is restricted, such as mountaineering and yachts. Hospitals can bring rinsing water to bedridden patients, eliminating the work of removing the rinsed water.
