The invention discloses a water toothpick, which includes a high-pressure gas generator, a water tank, a valve, a nozzle assembly and a water supply, wherein the high-pressure gas generator is communicated with the nozzle assembly, the valve is arranged between the high-pressure gas generator and the nozzle assembly, and the water supply is respectively communicated with the water tank and the nozzle assembly, so as to convey water in the water tank to the nozzle assembly. When the water toothpick is used, the high-pressure gas generator transmits generated high-pressure gas to the valve, the water supply transmits the water in the water tank to the nozzle assembly, and after a certain amount of water is stored in the nozzle assembly, the valve is opened, and the high-pressure gas at the valve is instantaneously discharged into the nozzle assembly, mixed with the water in the nozzle assembly to form compressed vapor, and then sprayed out from the nozzle assembly to complete one cleaning action.

Dental syringe tip devices, systems and methods

A dental syringe tip system for attachment to a dental syringe. The dental syringe tip system can include components such as an outer core, an inner core, and a carrier which can be combined in a multitude of combinations to achieve different fluid flow characteristics, such as discharge pressure and discharge pattern, through the dental syringe tip. The outer core and inner core can have passages designed to modify fluid flow characteristics. In addition, the outer core and inner core can have additional connectors for receiving fluids from sources other than a dental syringe. Some or all of the components can be separate to be assembled by a manufacturer or an end-user. Assembly of multiple components can be facilitated by retention features located on the components.
