A portable toothbrush having an internal water source that allows a user to brush his or her teeth while away from a bathroom or other external water source. The portable toothbrush has an internal water source for dispensing water into a user's mouth and a storage receptable for suctioning waste or rinse water from the user's mouth back into the storage receptacle for disposal after use. The toothbrush may have the toothpaste impregnated on the toothbrush head or the toothpaste may be contained in refillable receptacle as a part of the toothbrush head. The toothbrush of the present invention can be automatic (electric motor or pump) or manual. The toothbrush can be a one-time use toothbrush or multiple-use.

A personal care implement with a fluid dispensing system includes a fluid applicator, a fluid dispensing assembly including main and overflow reservoirs, and a capillary member in fluid communication with the reservoirs and the applicator for dispensing personal care fluid stored in the reservoirs via capillary action. An air venting system in one arrangement allows ambient air to be drawn into the main reservoir through the overflow reservoir for alleviating vacuum formed in the main reservoir by the capillary action fluid dispensing process. The venting system may include an external vent to atmosphere from the overflow reservoir and an internal vent between the reservoirs. In the event air trapped within the main reservoir expands due to changes in altitude or temperature, fluid in the main reservoir is expelled into the overflow reservoir via the internal vent. In one implementation, the personal care implement may be an oral care implement.

A toothbrush comprises a handle section and a brush head. The handle section further comprises a channel having at least one outlet opening which is fluidly coupled to a toothpaste supply, wherein the toothpaste is conveyed from the toothpaste supply via the channel to the at least one outlet opening via a suction process carried out with a mouth of an user.

An electric tooth brush is equipped is equipped with a water or other fluid dispensing jet function. The fluid is contained in a replaceable capsule inserted into the body of the tooth brush. The capsule contains antibacterial cleaning solution. The bristles are replaceable to enable the product of the invention to be long lasting. It has advantages over the standard electric toothbrush because of the water jet aspect, which gives a more thorough clean and eliminates the need for separate flossing by providing a flossing effect.

An oral cavity washing device includes a body unit including a pump configured to discharge washing liquid, a tube connected to the body unit and configured to allow the discharged washing liquid to flow through the tube, a washing unit connected to the tube and configured to discharge the washing liquid, a joint portion configured to detachably attach the washing unit to the body unit, a disposing portion provided at the body unit and configured to allow the tube to be disposed at the disposing portion in a state where the washing unit is attached to the body unit, and an elastic member provided at the disposing portion.

A cartridge and a base unit for use in an oral care appliance are disclosed. The cartridge includes a connection interface configured to form a detachable connection. The base unit is also configured to engage operatively with the cartridge to facilitate flow of an oral care composition from the cartridge into the oral care appliance.

A visual tooth cleaning, grinding and polishing instrument includes a host, an oral observation instrument and a cleaning and polishing tool. The host can drive the cleaning and polishing tool and supply a power source and a control system for an illuminating system, an observation system and the oral observation instrument. A picture shot by a camera of the observation system can be transmitted to a display of the observation system in time, so as to achieve the purposes of cleaning the teeth while observing a process of cleaning the dental calculus, dental plaque and pigmentation on the surface of the teeth with the cleaning and polishing tool and the cleaning effect instantly on a mobile phone, thereby effectively cleaning, grinding and polishing the teeth. A flusher or an electric toothbrush head or other interdental cleaning tools may also be mounted on the host or the oral observation instrument.

A dispenser that includes a resilient applicator that optimizes application of a subject fluid to a desired surface. In one embodiment, the invention is a dispenser comprising a housing having an internal reservoir containing the fluid. The resilient applicator is coupled to the housing and comprises a dispensing orifice. The resilient applicator comprises a working surface that is oriented at an oblique angle to a longitudinal axis of the housing.

An oral irrigator including a base and a handle. The base includes a fluid reservoir, a pump in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir, and a base wireless communication component in electrical communication with the pump. The handle is in fluid communication with the pump. The handle includes a handle wireless communication component and one or more control buttons in communication with the handle wireless communication component. The handle wireless communication component transmits control signals from the one or more control buttons to the base wireless communication component to adjust an operating parameter of the pump.

An oral care implement for dispensing an oral care agent includes a housing, reservoir therein containing an oral care fluid, and an electrical circuit comprising first and second electrodes connected to an onboard power source. Each electrode is in contact with the oral care fluid in the housing. An actuator, operably coupled to the power source, is configured to both selectively energize the circuit and activate dispensing of the oral care fluid. An electrical charge is applied to the oral care fluid by activating the actuator when dispensing the oral care fluid. When the fluid comprises a peroxide based tooth whitening agent, the dispensed fluid pH is increased by the electrical charge which improves the efficacy of the whitener. In one embodiment, the implement is a modular system including a powered base unit and one or more interchangeable cartridges each having a reservoir containing an oral care fluid.
