ABSTRACT:
An improved dental appliance having an elongated handle portion including a tongue grooming region formed therein, a head portion having a plurality of discrete spaced bristle tufts extending therefrom in spaced relationship to each other, and wherein the head portion lies entirely below the longitudinal axis of the elongated handle. There is provided an offset connecting portion rigidly joining the head to the handle which is offset from the longitudinal axis of the handle and extends downwardly therefrom to a point below the level of the head and rigidly joins the handle with the head. The bristle tufts of the head are disposed in four longitudinal rows, and in a preferred embodiment the center two rows comprise stiffer bristles than those of the outer rows, are cut so as to form several wedge shaped crests when viewed from the side thereof, and extend above the level of the outer two rows. The tongue grooming region has formed therein a spoon-like shaped concave portion which is located within the ends of the handle and includes a rounded smooth curved lip which is adapted to be run along the upper surface of the tongue to remove any coating formed thereon.
