Description

Overview

A suction toothbrush is an oral care device that combines gentle brushing with integrated fluid evacuation. The brush connects to a suction line to remove saliva, oral secretions, and debris as you clean, helping reduce pooling and aspiration risk while maintaining oral comfort. It supports assisted hygiene in hospitals, long‑term care, and home settings, especially for people with limited mobility or swallowing difficulties.

• Suitable for adults and children; usable with braces or dentures
