Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oral care equipment technology, specifically to an adjustable oral rinsing device for oral care. Background Technology

[0002] Oral care involves cleaning and protecting the teeth, tongue, palate, cheeks, and other parts of the oral cavity. In dental clinics, dental care sometimes requires removing plaque and tartar from the teeth to maintain cleanliness and facilitate proper oral care and treatment procedures. Modern dental chairs are typically equipped with water flossers to clean teeth, the inner walls of the mouth, and the tongue, making dental procedures easier for dentists.

[0003] Currently, after dentists use a water flosser to rinse a patient's mouth, the patient needs to stand up and spit the water into a spittoon. Sometimes, when there is a lot of water in the patient's mouth, it may cause the patient to cough or the water to overflow from the corners of the mouth, soiling the patient's clothes and causing inconvenience, which will greatly affect the patient's medical experience. Furthermore, during some surgical procedures, the patient's mouth needs to be rinsed multiple times, so the patient needs to stand up and spit the water multiple times. Even when the amount of water used for rinsing is small, the patient still needs to stand up and spit the water. When the patient lies back on the treatment chair, they need to readjust their head position and align their mouth with the dentist, which is very inconvenient.

[0004] In summary, there is an urgent need to design an adjustable oral irrigation device for oral care that overcomes the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content
