ABSTRACT:
A device for applying cleaning and/or irrigating liquid directly to the base of the tongue includes a plurality of rigid mechanical fingers which gently part the taste buds when they are moved across the surface of the tongue. The fingers have openings in the ends through which liquid passes while the taste buds are parted whereby the liquid is applied directly to the portion of the tongue under the taste buds. The device is connected to a source of liquid which may be a liquid reservoir or a pulsating water irrigation system. The device may take the form of a hollow unitary structure of high impact injection molded plastic. A tongue scraper blade may be attached to the device.
