1. An oral care system comprising:
a toothbrush; and a dispenser detachably coupled to the toothbrush, the dispenser comprising:
an internal reservoir containing a fluid; anda conduit in fluid communication with the reservoir and terminating in an orifice for dispensing the fluid from the reservoir; and a plug having an axis, a proximal plug portion disposed within the conduit, and a distal plug portion disposed within a socket of the toothbrush, wherein a first axial force is required to remove the proximal plug portion from the conduit of the dispenser and a second axial force is required to remove the distal plug portion from the socket of the toothbrush, the second axial force being greater than the first axial force; wherein the socket of the toothbrush is located within a cavity of the toothbrush in which at least a portion of the dispenser nests when detachably coupled to the toothbrush; and wherein the socket is formed in a transverse end wall that closes a distal end of the cavity.
