Abstract

A container (67) at the edge, which has balloons (61, 62) enclosed therein, is put into the mouth so as to sandwich the alveolar arch between the balloons (61, 62). When air is pumped from a storage container 65, the air is fed through a tube (66) and pathways (63, 64) to the balloons (61, 62). Thus, the balloons (61, 62) inflate and compress the inner and outer walls of the alveolar arch at the same time. By lowering the flow rate of the air from the storage container (65), the balloons (61, 62) deflate and the pressing forces against the inner and outer walls of the alveolar arch are relieved. By repeating the procedures of compressing the inner and outer walls of the alveolar arch and reliving the same, waste matters (old blood, pus, secreta, etc.) pooled in capillary vessels in the alveolar arch are squeezed out and thus inflammation in the alveolar arch and toothache can be prevented.

Description

Specification

Gum compression device

Technical field

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a gum compression device, and more particularly to a gum compression device that repeatedly performs an operation of sandwiching both sides of a gum with a pair of flexible members and pressing and releasing the inner wall and the outer wall of the gums with a flexible member.

Background art

[0002] When alveolar pus leaks, teeth become loose and do not give up food, causing toothache, periodontitis, pulpitis, gingivitis, cavities, etc., inflammation of the roots and suppuration, pus comes out of the roots All teeth loosen and begin to move or come off. In order to prevent strong alveolar pyorrhea, the teeth and gums were conventionally brushed with a toothbrush or massaged with fingers.

[0003] As an instrument for brushing and massaging such teeth and gums, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 20 03-180718 discloses that brush bristles are provided at portions that simultaneously contact the front side and the back side of teeth. Mouthpiece-type electric motor that prevents the periodontal disease by sandwiching the toothbrush between the teeth, moving the mouth with the toothbrush in the mouth, and automatically brushing both sides of the teeth and massaging the inner and outer walls of the gums simultaneously A toothbrush has been proposed.

[0004] Also, in JP-A-7-8321, the inner wall and the outer wall of teeth and gums are attached with a molded body made of soft elastic body, and the molded body made of soft elastic body is moved to the mouth and teeth by moving the mouth and teeth. There has been proposed a toothbrush that can clean and, as a result, improve blood circulation in the gums, clean the eating candy on the tooth surface, and prevent alveolar pus leakage.

Patent Document 2: JP 2003-180718

[0005] These toothbrushes can press and brush teeth and gums simply by attaching the toothbrush to the teeth, and can be expected to prevent periodontal disease and alveolar pus leakage. However, it has the disadvantage that it is difficult to use for people who feel uncomfortable or resistant to putting foreign objects in their mouths, and is not suitable for use while they are out. In addition, teeth and gums are fixed and attached integrally with a toothbrush, and the mouth and teeth are moved in a pressed state. Insufficient blood flow, and pus and secretions in the gum capillaries were not completely removed.

Problems to be solved by the invention

[0006] The present invention has been made to solve the problem, and an object of the present invention is to repeatedly perform an operation of pressing and releasing the inner wall and the outer wall of the gum using a gum compression device. Therefore, it is to squeeze out old blood, pus, secretions, etc. remaining in the capillaries of the gums to suppress inflammation and pain. Another object of the present invention is to provide an instrument that can be used easily even by a person who has a sense of incongruity or resistance to putting foreign matter in his / her mouth.

[0007] That is, the present invention provides a gum compression device comprising a tip portion having a pair of flexible members, and an operation means for repeatedly operating a means for pressing and releasing the inner and outer walls of the gums between the flexible members. It is. The gums in the gums of the gums, pus, and secretions are squeezed out by pressing the gums that are inflamed due to periodontitis, pulpitis, gingivitis, etc., causing toothache and purging. New blood enters the gums by releasing the pressure on the gums. By repeating the pressing and releasing operation of the gums, old blood, pus, and secretions that existed in the gums are removed, and the gums are replaced with new blood. Even if the secretion remains in the gums, the white blood cells in the fresh blood kill the toxin. The operation time for one press and release varies depending on the inflammation state of the gums, but the normal press time is 30 seconds to 1 minute, the release time is 5 to 10 seconds, and the press' release operation is repeated 5 to 6 times. Is preferred. This press release operation is performed 2-3 times a day. As the number of pressing and releasing operations increases, the pressing time and releasing time tend to be shorter.

[0008] Further, the present invention is a gum compression device in which the flexible member can be replaced with the gum compression device, and the flexible member in contact with the gum can be used in a sanitary manner.
