Systems and method for an electric toothbrush and charging dock. The electric toothbrush may include at least one magnetic member and at least one charging coil in a central portion. The charging dock may include at least one magnetic member and at least one transmitting coil. The charging dock may include a proximal portion which may be attached to a distal portion of the charging dock to be rotatable relative to the distal portion. The charging dock may include at least one unit capable of receiving power from a power source. The energy received by the unit from the power source may be transmitted to the transmitting coil. The energy may be transmitted from the transmitting coil to the receiving coil in the electric toothbrush via inductive or resonance charging. The energy may be transferred from the receiving coil to a battery in the electric toothbrush.

A switched mode power supply charger device for a personal care appliance comprises a power supply cable and a power plug. The power plug comprises a housing comprising a first compartment and a second compartment adjacent the first compartment. A converter is disposed in the first compartment. A communication circuit is disposed in the second compartment.

An oral care device having a head with cleaning elements and a handle coupled to the head. The handle may include a selectively rotatable ring arranged between the head and a distal end of the handle that is configured to allow a user to select a desired mode of operation of the oral care device. The handle may include a selectively illuminated light that is configured to display at least one color that visually indicates that certain behaviors, patterns, and/or consistent habits have been performed successfully. The handle may include a processor configured to track a duration of a user's brushing session, a light ring on a bottom surface of the handle, and a pressure sensor. Respective portions of the light ring may be selectively illuminated by the processor to visualize progress toward achieving a predetermined brushing routine time and/or to visualize an over-pressure condition sensed by the pressure sensor.

A holder for a powered driven personal care item is unitarily formed as one piece and is attachable to a charging unit to hold the powered driven personal care item in place during charging. A charging system comprises such a holder and a charging unit. A unit, preferably a display or touch-and-feel unit, comprises such a charging system and a powered driven personal care item.

Electric toothbrush includes a head mounted on a handle with bristles; handle divided into first and second compartments; first compartment includes toothpaste reservoir and piston for pushing out the toothpaste; second compartment including control unit and motor that generates vibration transmitted to the bristles; head includes toothpaste dispenser with channel for dispensing the toothpaste from the reservoir; dispenser includes first and second valves, first valve is mounted at entry to channel, and second valve is mounted next to the bristles; first valve dispenses toothpaste from the reservoir into channel; second valve dispenses the toothpaste from air volume in the head to the bristles; a push-button on the head for operating the valves; and piston in first compartment, for pumping toothpaste out of reservoir; handle includes a neck with an opening for mating with head and for filling reservoir with toothpaste; handle includes button for activating motor.

A universal base for an electric toothbrush has a body comprising a top surface, a bottom surface, and a side surface therebetween. The base can be coupled with the toothbrush for wireless communication therebetween. The base includes a charging component for inductively charging the electric toothbrush, a Bluetooth component for communicating usage data received from the toothbrush during a brushing session, an analyzing component for instantaneous processing of the usage data received from the toothbrush, a timer-clock component for displaying either a count-up or a countdown of the brushing session during the brushing session and time of day before and after the brushing session, and a multi-functional light component for instantaneously communicating, during the brushing session, at least one element of the usage data.
