Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a dentifrice used for brushing teeth.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a dentifrice, a mixture of components such as an abrasive, a lubricant, a foaming agent, a binder, a flavor, a drug, and ordinary water is generally known. At present, there is no dentifrice that generates negative ions in the mouth.

[0003]

The main component of the dentifrice is an abrasive, which is used for brushing the teeth to remove plaque and tobacco stains and to give the teeth gloss.

[0004] By the way, when brushing a tooth, a toothbrush is brushed with a dentifrice, and at this time, a relatively large amount of dentifrice is used because plaque and cigarette sticking to the teeth are difficult to remove. He had to scrub the toothbrush and brush it hard.

[0005] As described above, if a toothbrush is strongly brushed with a large amount of a toothpaste, plaque and tobacco can be removed, but the enamel on the tooth surface is scraped off by the abrasive as a main component, The problem of damaging the teeth arises.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and efficiently removes plaque and tobacco stains by using a small amount of dentifrice and lightly brushing the toothbrush. An object of the present invention is to provide a dentifrice that can be used.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the dentifrice of the present invention (claim 1) has a constitution in which a powder of a multi-element mineral is contained in a component.

Further, the dentifrice of the present invention (claim 2) has a constitution in which ordinary water negatively ionized by a multi-element mineral is contained in the component.

[0009] The dentifrice of the present invention is characterized in that multi-element minerals are contained in the components. This multi-element mineral
For example, perlite, pine resin, and tourmaline
A mineral containing silicon as a main component and containing a large number of elements in a well-balanced manner, and this multi-element mineral is known to emit negative ions.

[0010] When brushing is performed using the dentifrice according to the first aspect of the present invention, negative ions are generated from the multi-element mineral powder contained in the dentifrice. Therefore, when brushing teeth with a toothbrush, the action of negative ions causes a cluster phenomenon (power to reduce the molecular group of water) in the water, which makes the water in the mouth finer and dissolves water. It is possible to efficiently remove dirt such as plaque and tobacco tar attached to the teeth by positive ions. In addition, negative ions act in the mouth, activate the cells of the gums, improve the blood circulation of the gums, and prevent periodontal disease.

Further, when the dentifrice according to the second aspect of the present invention is used, since normal water which is negatively ionized by a multi-element mineral is contained, the same effect as above is obtained by the action of negative ions by this normal water. Action is obtained.

[0012]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, components of a dentifrice according to an embodiment will be described. This toothpaste contains abrasives, lubricants,
It is a toothpaste containing a foaming agent, a binder, a flavoring agent, a drug, ordinary water, and a multi-element mineral in its components.

[0013] The abrasive is used to polish the teeth to remove plaque and tobacco tar, and to give the teeth a gloss. Silicic anhydride, dibasic calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate and the like are used.

The lubricating agent is used to moisturize the dentifrice, and glycerin, sorbit or the like is used.

The foaming agent is for diffusing the dentifrice into the mouth, and sodium laurate or the like is used.

The binder is used to prevent the powder and liquid in the dentifrice from being separated from each other. For example, sodium alginate or CMC-carboxymethylcellulose which is a synthetic paste is used.

The flavoring agent is used to give a refreshing sensation in the mouth, and peppermint oil, seaweed oil, synthetic flavors and the like are used.

The drug is for preventing cavities and periodontal disease, and includes fluoride, an enzyme agent, a bactericide, an anti-inflammatory agent and the like.

[0019] Ordinary water is a dissolving agent for providing moisture to the dentifrice.

Multielement minerals include, for example, perlite and pine stone,
In addition, a mineral such as tourmaline (an tourmaline), which contains silicon as a main component and contains a large number of elements in a well-balanced manner, is known to emit negative ions. The multi-element mineral is pulverized to about 0.5 to 3 μm, preferably 0.5 to 1 μm with a ball mill or the like to form a powder, which is included in the components of the dentifrice. . In this case, the multi-element mineral powder is 2
It is preferable to mix and use more than one type appropriately,
One type may be used. In this embodiment, the powder of the multi-element mineral is directly mixed with the dentifrice.

Table 1 shows the components of perlite, which is an example of a multi-element mineral, and Table 2 shows the chemical formula of tourmaline (an tourmaline).

[Table 1]

[Table 2]

When brushing is performed using the above-mentioned dentifrice, negative ions are generated from the multi-element mineral powder contained in the dentifrice. Therefore, when brushing teeth with a toothbrush, the action of negative ions causes a cluster phenomenon (power to reduce the molecular group of water) in the water, which makes the water in the mouth finer and dissolves water. It is possible to efficiently remove dirt such as plaque and tobacco tar attached to the teeth by positive ions. This allows the toothbrush to be lightly brushed while using a small amount of dentifrice, and does not scratch the enamel on the tooth surface to damage the tooth.

In addition, negative ions act in the mouth,
It can activate gum cells to improve blood circulation of the gums and prevent periodontal disease.

In another embodiment, ordinary water can be negatively ionized by a multi-element mineral and included in the components. In this case, the powder of the multi-element mineral is mixed with water, heated or pressurized, and then the supernatant may be mixed as it is, or the powder obtained by vacuum freeze drying or spray drying may be mixed. Good. Therefore, in this embodiment, the same action as described above can be obtained by the action of negative ions due to ordinary water.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the specific configuration of the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, specific materials such as an abrasive, a lubricant, a foaming agent, a binder, a flavoring agent, a drug, and ordinary water, which are components of a dentifrice, can be appropriately selected and used. In addition, salt granules, hydroxyapatite, etc. May be included in the component.

In addition, the invention according to claim 1, wherein a powdery substance of a multi-element mineral is contained in the component, is not necessarily required to be a toothpaste, but may be a powdered toothpaste.

[0027]

As described above, in the dentifrice of the present invention, by the action of negative ions generated from multi-element minerals, plaque and tobacco stains attached to teeth by positive ions are removed. It can be removed efficiently. As a result, it is only necessary to brush the toothbrush lightly while using a small amount of dentifrice, and it is possible to obtain the effect that the enamel on the tooth surface is not scraped and the tooth is not damaged.

Also, negative ions act in the mouth,
The effect of activating the cells of the gums and improving the blood circulation of the gums and preventing periodontal disease can be obtained.

Claims (2)

[Claims] 1. A dentifrice comprising a multi-element mineral powder in a component. 2. A dentifrice comprising, in its components, ordinary water negatively ionized by a multi-element mineral.
