General
information on tooth cleaning
The bristles on the tooth brush are what cleans the teeth.
The harder the bristles better the teeth are cleaned.
This, however, increases scratching and abrasive effects
on enamel and especially on
the softer dentine. |
|
Over
time grooves and notches develope on the teeth and the
gums recede.
In order to reach the interdental areas with a normal
tooth brush, the pressure must be increased even more.
Only
a small part of the bristles
the brushhead
can be inserted in the interdental space. Thus the interdental
space can not be cleaned.
The result is tooth abrasion, gum damage and bent bristles.
|
Effects
of tooth paste and germs on normal tooth brush
Tooth paste plays a subordinated role in the teeth
cleaning.
The paste is moved aside and dispersed by the bristles
and is quickly dissolved in the oral cavity. The positive
effects of flourides and abrasive contents of the
paste are diminished.
Strontium salts and other active ingredients found
in some pastes, which could seal open dentinal tubules,
can not be pressed to the surface of the tooth.
Thus extreme sensibility of a tooth can not be stopped.
There are many places between the bristles where bacteria
and viruses can breed.
Cleaning between the bristles is almost impossible.

General
structure of DR. BOEHM's Soft-rubber
The Soft-rubber is made of three parts.
A special foam is attached to the head of the shaft.
A small brush for the interdental spaces if attached
to the lower part of the shaft
as well as
a dental floss holder.
A device with these three features provides easy and
effective cleaning of problem areas.
|
 |
Special
foam at the head of the shaft
The chambers of the are foam enclosed the and thus they
can not be penetrated
by any substance.
Its elasticity enables close contact to the tooth surface.
The foam itself is biologically inert.
The foam head can be replaced.
The topmost layer of chambers are cut and open to hold
the toothpaste
medicine or powder. The toothbrush should not be wet with
water befor applying with paste, powder or
medicine.
By means of these half open (concave) chambers, it is
possible to press the toothpaste to the tooth surfaces
while making circular movements with the device.
|
Contact
between paste and tooth is thus intensified, enabling
the fine-grained abrasive contents of the paste to cause
excellent smoothing of the tooth surfaces. The effects
of all other ingredients, like fluorides, can also be
intensified by the increased pressure.
This type of intensive contact is also good for gum
massagege. The transition area from the tooth and the
gums, the so-called gingival sulcus, is subject to suction-pumping
effects causing smooth cleaning.
|
Replacement
of foam head
The foam head of the Soft-rubber can be replaced. Hold
one side of the foam and pull from the holder with some
force. To insert a new foam head, dip in water to lubricate.
With the indentations facing the opening of the holder,
slightly slanted with respect to the shaft axis, press
through the rectangular opening with your fingers until
the foam protrudes equally on both sides. After a few
hours, the foam settles in the holder and gets tighter
by the wedge in the ring. If the head appears to be
too big, one side can be cut off with scissors (after
it has settled).
|
Brush
for interdental spaces
To clean the spaces between the teeth he Soft-rubber
features a
small pointed brush at the end of the shaft.
It also helps clean other places in the mouth that cannot
be easily accessed like the areas under bridge spans.
The brush can be put through an opening in the shaft.
The T-shaped brush end is inserted in the circular opening
of one side and then turned by 90° to the left or right.
This way the brush is wedged tightly. To remove proceed
in reversed order. If the brush is attached to the shaft
on the opposite side, it protrudes further, i.e. it
is longer.

Easy
handling of dental silk
For
cleaning dental areas dental silk
is perfect.
You need ca. 40 cm of dental silk.
Fix the silk with your thumb at the
lower part of the shaft. Stretch the silk and tighten
it into the curb, first at the
end of the shaft, second at both sides
of the shaft, then put it through the hole.
|
Cleaning
techniques
Special techniques are not required. Clean the teeth
at least 3 minutes with the rubber and another 3 minutes
with the small brush and the dental floss.
|
Warnings
Toddlers up to 3 years should not use the Soft-rubber
witout supervision.
