ABSTRACT:
An infant teether and cleaning toothbrush includes an oversized hollow rubber body that allows easy grip for small infants. The rubber body has an internal hollow space to allow the addition of rattle noise making bell or music making devices to increase the infants auditory stimulus. The exterior surface of the rubber body has raised ridges to provide better grip for a small infant. The generally round rubber body has an elongated neck protruding on one end which is capped with a receptor and safety lock device. Two attachable extensions are provided; one is a toothbrush unit having a brush end and a connection end which fits into the receptor. The other attachable extension is a teething unit made of durable rubber having a shaft with a connection end, and a teething end, provided with bumps simulating the toothbrush bristles providing the infant with a teething structure. Both the teething unit and the toothbrush unit are replaceable and disposable, thereby allowing the transition from teether to toothbrush, as well as providing improved hygiene.
