An oral care system using a stream of fluid droplets for cleaning teeth includes a hand-held portable oral care device having a handle portion with a nozzle at a forward end thereof, a source of dental fluid and a source of pressurized gas, between 10-30 bar, both located in the handle portion. The system also includes a base unit which includes a reservoir tank for pressurized air, a reservoir tank for fluid, and a compressor connected to the gas reservoir. The handle includes valves for controlling the release of pressurized gas and fluid from the handle to the nozzle. Connecting ducts are arranged from the fluid and pressurized gas source to the nozzle such as to accelerate the pressurized gas droplets from the nozzle to a desired velocity.
