Abstract: An oral cleaning system includes a toothbrush body with a first stem. The first stem has a rigid configuration and a first head with a first plurality of bristles. A channel is defined within the first stem and at least one fluid outlet is defined in the first head. The at least one fluid outlet is in fluid communication with the channel and is configured to facilitate irrigation of a mouth or teeth via the first head. A second stem is connected to the first stem and extends upwardly and outwardly from a distal portion of the first stem. The second stem includes a second plurality of bristles and is generally opposed and spaced from the first head. The second stem has a semi-flexible configuration such that the second head is resiliently movable inwardly or outwardly relative to the first head without substantially bending the first stem.

Abstract: An oral irrigator has a separate high pressure water system and low pressure mouth rinse system to deliver two different fluids to a pick or other accessories. The water system and mouth rinse system are combined in a handle. The pick is connected to the handle. The water system has a blocking valve located in the handle and the mouth rinse system has a hand pump located in the handle. The hand pump sits next to a valve button for closing the blocking valve. When the hand pump is pressed, it presses against the valve button of the blocking valve to shut off the source of high pressure water to the pick. The pressure in the pick drops so that the hand pump can then introduce mouth rinse into the pick. When the hand pump is released, the blocking valve opens up and high pressure water returns to the pick.
