Abstract

An integral one piece gum soother with a bristle-less wand, an internal vibrating device, a power supply connected to the internal vibrating device, an on/off switch for activating the internal vibrating device, and a mouth guard connected to the bristle-less wand. The mouth guard can extend at a first angle from the bristle-less wand and a flex neck connected to the bristle-less wand can extend at a second angle from the mouth guard. A hollow membrane-free dual chew tip can be connected to the flex neck, wherein the hollow membrane-free dual chew tip can be configured to sustain a reduced temperature from room temperature of at least 20 degrees Fahrenheit if needed.

Claims (25)

1. An integral one piece gum soother comprising:

a. a bristle-less wand comprising:

(i) a motor;

(ii) a power supply connected to the motor;

(iii) an on/off switch connected between the power supply and the motor for activating the motor; and

(iv) an internal vibrating device connected to the motor;

b. a mouth guard connected to the bristle-less wand extending at a first angle from 40 degrees to 120 degrees from the bristle-less wand;

c. a flex neck connected longitudinally to the bristle-less wand extending at a second angle from 40 degrees to 120 degrees from the mouth guard; and

d. a hollow membrane-free dual chew tip connected to the flex neck, wherein the hollow membrane-free dual chew tip is configured to contact and massage gums and sustain a reduced temperature from room temperature to at least 20 degrees Fahrenheit if needed, and further wherein the hollow membrane-free dual chew tip contains a rotating vibrating arm.

2. The integral one piece gum soother of claim 1 , comprising an internal casing contained inside the bristle-less wand having a first chamber containing the power supply and a second chamber containing the on/off switch and the motor.
