ABSTRACT:
A pressurized water jet dental hygiene apparatus which connects to a conventional faucet, composed of a two-component coupling, a flexible tube, and a hand held nozzle connected with the flexible tubing. A first component of the two-component coupling is threaded onto a selected faucet. The second component of the two-component coupling is connected with the flexible tubing. In operation, the faucet operates normally when the second component of the two-component coupling is removed. When it is desired to operate the fluid jet dental hygiene apparatus, the second component of the coupling is connected with the first component. Now, when water is turned on, water will squirt out the nozzle with a velocity and volume dependent upon the water pressure delivered at the faucet and relative amount the faucet valve (or valves) is (are) opened. The user then holds the nozzle such as to provide jetable cleansing of his or her dental tissues.
