Patent Images
1. A plasma toothbrush, comprising:
- a main body that is toothbrush-shaped and has a toothbrush head in which toothbrush strands are stuck in the anterior plane of the toothbrush head;
a voltage application electrode that is arranged between the toothbrush strands stuck in the toothbrush head bottom plane; and
a ground electrode that is arranged between the toothbrush stands in the proximity of and with a clearance from the voltage application electrode,wherein the voltage application electrode is made of a conductive material and covered with a dielectric material, the ground electrode is made of a conductive material, the ground electrode is grounded, and the voltage application electrode is connected to a power source to be supplied with electric power, thereby generating plasma.
