Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of oral irrigators, and in particular to an oral irrigator with a replaceable water tank. Background Art

[0002] Brushing teeth is the most common dental care behavior. However, most toothbrushes cannot allow toothpaste to penetrate into the gaps, grooves and cracks of the occlusal surface. Therefore, an oral irrigator is needed as an auxiliary tool for toothbrushes to clean teeth. An oral irrigator generally includes an oral irrigator body and a nozzle detachably connected to the oral irrigator body. The oral irrigator body includes a water pump, which can suck the cleaning liquid and spray the cleaning liquid through the nozzle at a certain pressure, so as to clean the places that are difficult to clean with a toothbrush, such as the gaps between teeth and the gingival sulcus.
