Abstract: A dental post and method of treatment wherein the tooth is provided with an aperture extending from its root canal to the exterior of the tooth beneath the gum line and a dental post is inserted within the root canal, such post having a plurality of chambers interconnected by at least one channel forming a circulation loop for blood flow between the root canal, through the channel and chambers to the exterior of the tooth through said aperture in the tooth beneath the gum line and back which circulation loop promotes the natural healing of the tooth.

Abstract: A finger-mounted device for cleaning teeth having an improved teeth cleaning surface, pick means for cleaning between the teeth, a nonslip finger-engaging means, and means for providing a length of dental floss. The improved teeth cleaning surface consists of a plurality of concave surfaces joined along their raised edges, each of the concave surfaces being adapted to clean a complimentary shaped convex tooth surface and the raised edges being adapted to clean the tooth edges. The teeth cleaning surface is preferably formed by soft bristles. A pick means comprises a section of hard bristles disposed within the soft bristle area, the distal ends of the hard bristles being tapered to form a point which lies beneath the soft bristle surface, the pick being exposed for cleaning between teeth by applying a greater pressure than that required for brushing the teeth with the soft bristles.
