ABSTRACT:
The following disclosure discloses a pressurized irrigating oral scrubber for the removal of bacterial plaque and deleterious residue and food particles on a user's teeth. The irrigator incorporates a pressurized source of fluid, such as a liquid in the form of tap water or a solution of water and oral hygienic material. The source of fluid can be provided by fluid under pressure that has been reduced, such as from a tap, or a pumping unit which pressurizes the fluid for irrigation purposes. The fluid which is pressurized is delivered through a nozzle or opening to the areas to be irrigated in adjacent relationship to a concave scrubbing cup. The scrubbing cup has a concave or depressed area therein with a relieved surface within the cup in the form of ribs or protuberances to allow for a scrubbing function of the teeth in the area between the gums and the teeth as well as the teeth, while at the same time irrigating and rinsing the residue as it is scrubbed and removed by the scrubbing cup. A series of vents or slits in the peripheral edge of the scrubbing cup allows the cup, which is made of a soft, flexible material, to open slightly like flower petals against the tooth surfaces. This condition permits the flattening of the cup surface against the teeth to aid in scrubbing and also to allow pressure release of fluid passing through the cup.
