Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This disclosure relates to a tooth hygiene system, a system dental hygiene, a dual tank flosser system, a hose and tank cleaning system, processes, and methods of use. More specifically, and without limitation, the present disclosure relates to a system for dental hygiene, the system including two tanks for housing content which can be switched to utilizing a single or multiple devices.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In recent times, few improvements have been made to dental hygiene. Most users and households engage in regular brushing of teeth and some flossing. Few changes to this standard have been implemented. Brushing teeth is well known in the art. Tooth brushing is the act of scrubbing teeth with a toothbrush. Small advances continue to be made in the shape of toothbrushing but the general idea hasn't changed in a very long time. Generally a toothbrush is combined with toothpaste and water to engage in cleaning one's teeth.

Similarly, flossing is a common practice. Generally, flossing is the act of using a thin piece of material to remove plaque and other debris from between teeth and/or other locations within the mouth in which a toothbrush has difficulty reaching. Flossing, like brushing, is a regular part of oral cleaning and has remained limited in improvements in many years.

It is well known in the art that regular flossing and brushing can improve dental health and prevent gum disease. However, evidence also shows that flossing is a very limited benefit. Some studies have shown that common flossing is limited in removing plaque or providing benefits beyond brushing. Furthermore, flossing is inaccurate and may not be effective in reaching all of the difficult to reach places.

Thus, there is a long-felt need in the art for a tooth hygiene system, a system dental hygiene, a dual tank flosser system, a hose and tank cleaning system, processes, and methods of use which improves upon the state of the art and solves the gaps of not cleaning thoroughly and adding benefits to tooth cleaning beyond brushing.

The disclosure herein provides these advantages and others as will become clear from the specification and claims provided.

A receiver is used if one way communication is utilized, whereas a transceiver is used if two-way communication is utilized (hereinafter “transceiver”). Receiver/transceiver is connected with an antenna, such as a monopole antenna, a loop antenna, a fractal antenna, or any other form of an antenna. Antenna receives wireless signals from any other device, transmits these signals to receiver/transceiver which processes these signals and then transmits these processed signals to microprocessor which processes these signals according to instructions stored in memory. In one arrangement, system 10 re-transmits operating commands signals through receiver/transceiver so as to similarly control over-the-air communication. Communication is any form of wireless signals, or wired signals, through the air, such as a conventional remote signal, a cell phone, a wireless device, an internet connected device, a hard-wired device, or any other device capable of transmitting remote control signals.

Memory: In the arrangement shown, as one example, system 10 includes a memory. Memory may be formed of any suitable size, shape and design and is configured to facilitate selective storage and retrieval of data (including data) in association with computing devices, processors, software and interactive user display. Memory may be a single component, such as a single chip or drive or other memory device, or alternatively memory may be formed of a plurality of memory or storage components that are connected to one another that may be co-located or located at different geographic locations.

In addition to the above identified features, options, controls, and components, system 10 may also include other features and functionalities, among other options, controls, and components.

It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other various modifications could be made to the system, process, and method of use without parting from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. All such modifications and changes fall within the scope of the claims and are intended to be covered thereby.
