Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oral care technology, and in particular to a dental floss pick with an interdental brush. Background Technology

[0002] Dental floss picks, also known as floss picks, are products used in conjunction with a toothbrush in daily oral care. Before dental floss picks, people used dental floss to achieve the same effect. Compared to dental floss, dental floss picks are more convenient, efficient, safe, and hygienic. Toothbrushes can only reach 70% of the surface of teeth, while dental floss fills in the gaps. Dental floss picks can be used as both toothpicks and dental floss. The smooth, curved floss tip design and 2 kg tensile strength floss protect the gums and remove plaque, soft deposits, and food debris. The toothpick features anti-slip ridges or various anti-slip textures in the middle, and the flat, knife-like tip makes it easier to insert into the gaps between teeth. It can be bent at a 45-degree angle, making it easier to remove debris from areas that ordinary toothpicks cannot reach.

[0003] Existing dental floss picks only use the floss at one end and the tip at the other to clean teeth. After removing food debris from the teeth, they cannot quickly remove the food debris that remains on the tooth surface and between the teeth after the floss and the tip have been removed. Therefore, this application provides a dental floss pick with an interdental brush to meet this need. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a dental floss pick with an interdental brush to solve the problem of food residue adhering to the tooth surface and interdental spaces after removing dental floss and using a pointed tip.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A dental floss pick with an interdental brush includes a main handle, a floss bar at one end of the main handle, dental floss inside the floss bar, a handle hole on one side of the main handle, a push rod inside the handle hole, a tooth-picking tip at one end of the main handle, a left floss shell on the surface of the floss bar, a right floss shell rotatably connected to the lower surface of the left floss shell, a sliding slider at one end of the push rod, an interdental seat on the upper surface of the sliding slider, an interdental brush head inserted into the upper surface of the interdental seat, a push base at one end of the push rod, and push buttons inserted on both sides of the push base.

[0007] Optionally, the top of the dental floss bar is provided with a movable groove, and a movable slider is slidably connected inside the movable groove.

[0008] Optionally, dental floss grooves are provided on both sides of the bottom of the dental floss bar, and the dental floss body is provided inside the dental floss grooves.

[0009] Optionally, the push rod has a push seat at one end near the tooth pick tip, and mounting slots are provided on both sides of the push seat, with a push button inserted into the mounting slot.

[0010] Optionally, a push hole is provided on the side of the handle hole near the dental floss bar, and a push rod is slidably connected inside the push hole.

[0011] Optionally, a dental floss shaft seat is provided on the lower surface of the left dental floss shell near the right dental floss shell, and the right dental floss shell is rotatably connected to the inside of the dental floss shaft seat.

[0012] Optionally, the width of the handle hole is the same as the width of the push rod, and the length of the handle hole is less than that of the push rod.

[0013] Optionally, the upper surface of the interdental seat is provided with an interdental groove, the lower surface of the interdental brush head is provided with a brush head seat, and the brush head seat is inserted into the interdental groove.

[0014] Optionally, both the left and right floss shells are provided with floss shell slots on the side near the handle of the main body, and the floss shell slots are adapted to the handle of the main body.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0016] In the above solution, by opening the left and right shells of the floss to remove the main handle, the user holds the handle and moves it to the mouth, allowing the floss to be used to remove food residue from the teeth. The handle is then flipped so the floss tip faces the teeth, allowing for the removal of larger food debris, such as coarse meat or vegetables, that are difficult to remove from between the teeth. When using the floss, the user should gently press the edges of the debris to remove it, minimizing the need to poke the gums. This effectively cleans food debris and plaque between the teeth, maintaining their cleanliness.

[0017] By setting the push button, the lever moves the slider within the sliding groove. The slider then moves the interdental brush head on the interdental holder forward along the floss bar to the other end near the floss tip. The user holds the push button and the main handle, allowing the interdental brush head on the interdental holder to clean between the teeth. This quickly removes food debris stuck to the tooth surface and between the teeth, which is removed by the floss and floss tip. Keeping the interdental spaces clean can effectively prevent cavities, gingivitis, and bad breath, while also reducing tooth displacement or discoloration caused by food debris buildup.
