Abstract: This invention describes pyruvate and related ?-ketocarboxylates as novel adjuvants in the treatment of acute post-tooth-whitening pain and sensitivity; the key feature is the cytoprotective efficacy of pyruvate on oral soft tissue, especially after topical application of high and therefore cytotoxic concentrations of H2O2, currently used in tooth whitening procedures.

Abstract: An oral hygiene device adapted for use in the oral cavity comprises a toothbrush at one end and a flossing device at the opposite end. The flossing device comprises first and second arms and first and second floss-anchoring buttons. Each arm has a floss-receiving slot defined in a distal end. The first floss-anchoring button projects from the first arm and the second floss-anchoring button projects from the second arm. Each floss-anchoring button has two or more floss-receiving channels defined in a peripheral wall thereof.
