ABSTRACT:
A conveniently portable dental cleaning instrument and kit for cleaning the interproximal area between teeth and crevices within and between teeth and gums are described. It can be constructed from siliconized paper, treated paper, cellophanes, and thin plastics. The preferred embodiment is a specific, double-sided siliconized paper, which has been determined to be of sufficient tensile strength, sturdiness, smoothness, having a low frictional coefficient, and flexible enough to be foldable without cracking. This embodiment allows the user to remove particles and plaque build-up in the interproximal spaces and dental crevices by using normal flossing and tooth-picking type strokes. Unlike flossing threads and wooden toothpicks, this invention will not dislodge fillings or remove loose caps, temporary caps, or bridge-work.
This dental paper and kit can, also, be prepared with embedded microspheres containing flavors, sweeteners, dentifrices and antiseptics for additional hygienic, social, and anti-smoking uses.
