ABSTRACT:
Apparatus, and method, for flossing the teeth, and simultaneously applying an antibacterial liquid solution to the teeth being flossed. The apparatus is constituted generally of a flexible hollow fiber with porous walls of diameter sufficiently small for fitting between and flossing the teeth, and a positive displacement device for supplying an antibacterial liquid to the interior volume, or bore, of the flexible hollow fiber for transport through the porous walls to the teeth. Flossing with the flexible hollow fiber, to which the antibacterial liquid solution is applied during flossing, bathes the teeth with the liquid solution during the flossing and provides a significant reduction in plaque accumulation.
