ABSTRACT:
A disposable tooth cleaning and polishing product for manually cleaning teeth comprising a sheet of thin, flexible material such as paper, cloth or synthetic foam material which may also be formed and contoured. The material is substantially insoluble in water and oral cavity juices and has at least one surface with sufficient surface texture to remove plaque, food residue and film, and oral cavity acids from teeth surfaces by manually rubbing the material with finger pressure against the teeth while also being sufficiently soft and pliable so as to avoid injuring or abraiding the gums. The formed, flexible material may have various embodiments each adapted to fit over the end of the user's finger for enhanced retention for rubbing against the teeth. The flexible sheet may also include releasable adhesion means on one surface for attachment to the fingertip and may also be retained in place against the fingertip by a ring over the finger and sheet fitted to the finger's first knuckle. A flexible sheet may be provided individually, packaged for dispensing, or in roll form perforated for convenient separation.
