Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dental cleaning device technology, specifically a portable dental cleaning device with a side-mounted water tank. Background Technology

[0002] Dental air polishing is an air polishing technology that uses compressed gas (usually air) to lift abrasive powder, which is then sprayed onto the tooth surface through a nozzle on the handle. The powder mixes with a liquid medium (usually water) sprayed along with the abrasive powder, effectively cleaning the tooth surface. Specifically, it can remove plaque, soft deposits, tobacco stains, and tea stains, effectively preventing periodontal disease and maintaining dental health. In existing small home air polishing devices, the water tank and main unit are usually connected vertically. The water tank is placed or removed from the top of the main unit, and water is supplied through a connector located at the bottom of the tank that connects to a corresponding connector inside the main unit. However, this method has the following problems: First, placing and removing the water tank occupies a lot of space above the device, causing inconvenience in practical applications. Second, although the connection between the water tank connector and the main unit is usually sealed, this seal is prone to wear and deformation over time, leading to downward leakage. Utility Model Content
