Abstract
A fluid based tooth cleaning system includes a holdable body configured to be coupled to a head, a fluid delivery unit configured to be coupled to a nozzle within the head for emitting fluid, at least one sensor configured to provide information relating to the head with respect to a user's teeth, wherein the at least one sensor has a movement sensor for determining velocity information relating to a velocity of the head with respect to the user's teeth, and a control unit configured to utilize the velocity information from the movement sensor to enable the fluid delivery unit to emit fluid from the nozzle onto the user's teeth, and stop the fluid delivery unit from emitting fluid from the nozzle when a velocity of the head is greater than a first threshold level and/or is less than a second threshold level.
