Abstract

An electric ozone toothbrush mainly has a guide tube installed in an interior portion of a handle and a brush head of a regular electric toothbrush connecting with a bristle end of the brush head; the other end of the guide tube joins with a coil tube of an ozone generator; an air pump disposed inside the ozone generator guides the ozone into the bristle end of the brush head such that the released ozone sterilizes, deodorizes, whitens the teeth, disinfects and detoxifies during the brushing application of the electric toothbrush.
