A tissue stimulator includes a body with a motor, a head attached to the body, and an applicator attached to a distal portion of the head. The head has a vibrating mechanism which, in conjunction with the motor, vibrates the distal portion at a sonic frequency. The applicator has a contact surface with a surface area. The surface area is relatively large so as to impart to tissue a substantial portion of the vibration of the distal portion. The tissue stimulator is particularly useful for massaging gingiva. |
