Introduction of the Interproximal Squirt Brush
The innovation behind the Squirt Brush was to improve the problematic
areas of all dental symptoms and diseases. The Squirt Brush provides maximum
cleaning efficiency by using the interproximal brush with the attached
refillable bottle to deliver a variety of mouth rinses for irrigation
and disinfection. Patients will be benefit from using the Squirt Brush
for their oral hygiene needs. It provides easy trouble-free usage and
is conveniently packaged for portability. There is no equivalent product
in the dental market; therefore, I went out of my way to invent the Squirt
Brush. Mechanical debridement is essential to controlling plaque accumulation
especially in cervical and interproximal areas. Subgingival irrigation
has also been proven to aid in reducing the levels of periodontal pathogens.
The design of the Squirt Brush allows the accomplishment of both. It delivers
any type of irrigant to the brush head allowing simultaneous debridement
and local delivery of the irrigant. It could potentially be a useful adjunct
in controlling the periodontal disease process.
In the treatment of active periodontal disease, scaling and root planning
is essential for the removal of bacteria and plaque from the subgingival
areas. After the dentist performs this procedure, patients are generally
required to maintain the treated areas with proper oral hygiene on a daily
basis. For this reason, the interproximal brush can be used to brush straight
into those areas. However, the negative aspect is that the brush is dry
and without medicament. Therefore, bacteria and germs cannot be cleansed.
Only mouthwash can treat and disinfect bacteria. Another problem is mouthwash
cannot penetrate deep in-between the teeth and gums where periodontitis
is most prevalent. That’s why we’ve created the Interproximal
Squirt Brush. The Squirt Brush was introduced to maximize cleaning efficiency
for difficult to maintain areas: the interproximal area around back teeth,
fixed partial denture, and implants. The Squirt Brush also functions to
simultaneously brush and apply chlorohexidine mouth rinse to those areas
that need cleansing the most. A combination of brushing and irrigating
of the interproximal areas can greatly increase patient compliance during
the maintenance periods.

From the Co-Founder of SquirtBRush
With the past experience in the dental office, I have seen many patients
with the needs to control and clean the bacteria in gum areas, oral braces,
and hard-to-reach area. In the past, their dentists would require them to
use medicated mouth wash or regular mouth wash to clean their affected area
with the combination of the interproximal brush. But, the brush is dry,
so the mouth wash can not directly penetrate deep into the gum and hard-to-reach
areas. Only mouth wash can treat and disinfect bacteria. So, in the practice
of chair side, dentists suggest hygienists to dip the brush with medicated
mouth wash while treating the affected areas. It not only wastes a lot of
time, but also the mouth wash is not evenly distributed into the affected
areas. It is also not convenient because the preparations of many tools,
such as mouth wash and brushes. And it also needs the help of third-party,
so when the patients are at home, it is not easy to do it by themselves.
Base on these inconveniences, we wanted to benefit the patients with our
new hygiene tools. That is why we have created the interproximal Squirt
Brush to aid the cleaning of those hard-to-reach interproximal areas. The
Squirt Brush combines the mouth wash with the brush in practice at the same
time. So, when you squeeze the tube, you can brush, clean and disinfect
your gum areas. And, it is very convenience that you can practice it at
home with your own mouth wash, such as fluoride mouth wash, deep clean mouth
wash, alcohol-free mouth wash, and any mouth wash that your dentist suggests.
The brush can also easily replace. For these reasons, the Squirt Brush is
very convenient to use because it functions to simultaneously brush and
apply mouth wash to those areas that need cleansing the most. It is very
unique and small since you can bring it when you go anywhere and travel.
