A pneumatic dental care device for private use which by means of a combination of air, liquid and powder at high pressure cleans the user's teeth and removes plaque and discoloration. The device consists of a base unit ( 100 ) and a hand unit ( 300 ) which are connected via a flexible, sheathed tube and wire bundle ( 200 ). The base unit contains a microcompressor ( 120 ), a liquid container ( 130 ) and a powder container ( 140 ). Liquid and/or powder are discharged at high pressure through an exchangeable nozzle unit ( 400 ) on the hand unit. The nozzle unit consists of one or more flexible (bendable) jet stems ( 401 ). The microprocessor, the powder container and the liquid container can be replaced by an exchangeable compressed air tank and/or pressurized liquid and/or powder containers in different configurations. The components of the device can also be integrated into a hand-held unit.
