Originally many pateneted devices provide water pulsating jets or nozzles for dental hygiene. These are useful but they encounter some difficulties. In conventional dental hygiene devices a desirable water pressure is acquired by means of pumps and by means of water energy at the faucet. Many complex situations are applied to achieve the desirable results. The use of electricity near by water means which last for a short time and replacing them are expensive and use of the the available devices are cumbersome. Some of the problems have been partially solved by implementation of novice devices but these had and still have significant problems.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,227,158 is for a pulsed water jet through nozzle under the driving action of an electrically operated pump. The rate of repetition of pulses dislodges food particles and massages the gums.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,542,017 claims some improvement over other and employs a fluid oscillator thereby eliminating shocks. The device creates pulsating rate to dislodge food particles and to massage the gums.
