Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a plant-based anti-caries dental floss and a matching dental floss box. Background Art

[0002] The main function of dental floss is to clean the adjacent plaque and food debris of the teeth, which are often difficult to clean with a toothbrush. Using dental floss can effectively prevent the occurrence of oral problems such as caries, gingivitis and bad breath. In addition, dental floss can also help reduce the incidence of periodontal disease, thereby helping to reduce the incidence of stroke and heart disease. Dental floss is usually made of nylon, silk or polyester thread. These materials are relatively soft and elastic, and are easy to move between teeth. When using, take a section of dental floss about 30 to 40 cm long, wrap the two ends around the middle fingers of the left and right hands, fix the dental floss, tighten the dental floss with the thumb of one hand and the index finger of the other hand, and gently put it into the bottom of the teeth for cleaning.

[0003] The currently used dental floss mainly acts through physical cleaning, and cannot effectively protect damaged tooth tissue or preventively protect teeth during use. To this end, the present application provides a plant-based anti-caries dental floss that has a cleaning function, protects teeth and has an anti-inflammatory effect on gingival tissue. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a plant anti-caries dental floss and a dental floss box used in conjunction with the same, providing a plant anti-caries dental floss which has a cleaning function and also has the effects of protecting teeth and reducing inflammation of gum tissue.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A plant-based anti-caries dental floss comprises a dental floss body, wherein the outer periphery of the dental floss body is provided with a medicine coating.

[0007] The working principle and beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: when the dental floss is physically cleaned by the drug coating, the drug is retained between the teeth, the teeth are protected by the drug and the gum tissue is relieved of inflammation.

[0008] Optimally, the drug is applied by spraying, dipping or immersion to form a drug coating.

[0009] Optimized, the drug is houttuynia cordata powder. Houttuynia cordata powder, the edible part (root, stem, leaf) of dried houttuynia cordata contains crude protein, crude fat, carbohydrates, crude fiber, mineral elements such as calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium and copper, various vitamins, and volatile oil. Modern medical research shows that houttuynia cordata has antibacterial, antiviral, immune-enhancing, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, hemostatic and diuretic effects, and is very effective in protecting damaged tooth tissue or preventively protecting teeth when used.

[0010] Preferably, the dental floss body is cotton thread, which has strong adsorption force and can effectively adhere to the medicine.

[0011] Preferably, the dental floss body has a breaking portion, the inner diameter of the breaking portion is much smaller than the inner diameter of the dental floss body, and the long dental floss is divided into short dental floss by the breaking portion.

[0012] The optimized one comprises a box body, the dental floss body is wound in the box body, the box body comprises a wire outlet, the box body is provided with a medicine charging tube filled with medicine powder, the dental floss body passes through the medicine charging tube and extends out from the wire outlet. By pulling the dental floss body through the medicine charging tube, the medicine powder on the medicine charging tube adheres to the dental floss body.

[0014] This optimization scheme has three usage scenarios: 1. The medicine powder is located at the bottom of the medicine tube, and the dental floss body is located directly above the medicine powder, that is, the dental floss body is separated from the medicine powder, and the dental floss body is pulled, and the dental floss body only has a physical cleaning function; 2. At this time, the dental floss body is separated from the medicine powder, and the fixing rod is pulled upward. The fixing rod drives the medicine tube to slide upward, and the support plate keeps the opening closed, so that the medicine powder and the dental floss body are in contact. When the dental floss body passes through the medicine powder, it is coated with the medicine powder. At this time, the dental floss body has a pharmacological effect. At the same time, when the medicine powder in the medicine tube is reduced, it can Continue to pull the fixing rod upwards, and the medicine tube slides upwards to keep the medicine powder in contact with the dental floss body; 3. Since the dental floss body is covered with medicine powder and is not convenient to hold with hands, the head end of the dental floss body can be kept away from the medicine powder, the middle part can be kept in contact with the medicine powder, and the end can be kept away from the medicine powder. The adjustment method refers to usage scenarios 1 and 2, so that it is convenient for people to hold the head and end of the dental floss body with both hands respectively, and the hands will not be stained with medicine powder. On the other hand, the hands will not slip (slip) when tightening the dental floss body due to the medicine powder, thereby facilitating the improvement of its physical cleaning effect.

[0015] Optimally, the box body is provided with a threaded hole, the fixing rod is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, and the fixing rod is rotatably connected to the charge tube. The self-locking function of the thread is utilized to keep the fixing rod in a limited position.

[0016] Optimally, the wire outlet is provided with a silicone door.

[0017] Preferably, the top of the box body is bolted with a feed door, through which powder is added into the charge tube. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
