Abstract

A safe, hygienic and effective device for caring for the interior of the mouth is presented. The system includes easily interchangeable accessories for a brushing device that allows it to function also as a polisher, washer, massager/stimulator, oral irrigator, oral syringe, lubricator, and protector of the teeth and gums. In the example presented, water-driven motors housed inside flexible material formed so that it is capable of fitting comfortably inside the human mouth drive heads in an up-and-down or rotating motion that brush or polish or massage/stimulate or irrigate the interior and exterior of all teeth, top and bottom, and gums, simultaneously, while also supplying fresh-water lubrication and paste or polish or mouthwash or the like and also removing exhaust fluids and exhaust substances from the mouth by a vacuum/suction or pressure or gravity action. A controller at the water supply monitors the duration of use, direction of fresh water flow, and water temperature and water pressure, and controls the direction of fresh water flow to none or one or more of the mouth care devices simultaneously from each water supply source; portable adapters are available. Timers and automatic safety shut-offs prevent injury from excessive use or in the event the fresh water temperatures or pressures from the water supply are above or below pre-set or user-set levels. Another embodiment provides for using the device as a mouth protector or thumb-sucking inhibitor.
