ORAL TREATMENT DEVICE, TEETH BRUSHING, TEETH CLEANING METHODS NEAR AN APPLICATION SITE, AND OXIDING AGENT GENERATOR. A device for an in situ chemical agent on an as-needed basis via the application of an electrical potenial through a pair of conductors in communication with an electrolyte. The device may be a toothbrush that generates chemical agents in a user's mouth by applying electrical potential to an electrolyte such as saliva and / or a toothpaste located inside. Chemical agents may include ozone, hydrogen peroxide, and / or hypochlorite. The toothbrush may include a voltage source (voltage) and a first set of electrodes to apply an electrical potential to the electrolyte. The toothbrush may also include a second set of electrodes. The first and second sets of anodes cooperate to produce ions, peroxides, ozone and / or other chemical agents by applying electrical potential to the electrolyte. |
