LIGHTSOURCE FOR SOFT ORAL TISSUE

摘要

The invention is directed to a device and method for providing electromagnetic radiation to at least some of the soft oral tissues of a user such as the gums and tongue. The device includes a substrate for disposing in the mouth of a user proximal to at least some of the soft oral tissues and an electromagnetic radiation source disposed on the substrate for delivering radiation of a desired wavelength to the proximal soft oral tissues. The method includes the steps of placing the device in the mouth of a user proximal to at least some of the soft oral tissues and providing power to the electromagnetic radiation source to produce electromagnetic radiation at a desired wavelength for a selected length of time to treat the at least some soft oral tissues of the user.
