The disadvantages of the known saliva aspirator are the strong draught caused by the aspiration of saliva and tooth residues and treatment residues, since this in most cases results in unpleasant to severe pain on the teeth. The disadvantages in the use of the known oral irrigators are the constant spitting out of the liquid and the splashing in the front region of the mouth. The previous tongue cleaners are known as tongue scrapers or mechanical cleaners. Both devices have the following in common: a delivery channel (1) for a medium, and a removal channel (2) for media. In the saliva aspirator (B), warm air is delivered during the dental treatment and, at the same time, saliva, water and tooth residues are aspirated. In the cleaner (A) for the interdental spaces and tongue, a medium, e.g. water, is delivered and, after it strikes the tooth or tongue, is immediately aspirated again. Pleasant treatment and care of the teeth and effective tongue hygiene are thus possible. |
