ABSTRACT:
An elongated, preferably plastic handle has a sleeve lock on each of its opposite tip ends. When a twisted wire brush is placed in the handle and the sleeve is slipped over it, there is a guy wire effect from the sleeve which holds the brush firmly in place, as the sleeve stretches slightly over a bent end of the twisted wire of the brush. Each end of the inventive handle also has a tapered bore that may optionally hold the end of a wooden toothpick, which may be broken. The same sleeve which slips over the twisted wire stem of the brush, to anchor it in place, has a longitudinal cutout. The cutout is in the form of a cove opening into a funnel-shaped opening, with a nip between the cove and the funnel. The nip snaps over the toothpick to capture and hold it. The unbroken side of the sleeve which is opposite the cutout slips over the broken end of the toothbrush to help capture and cover it without leaving any exposed jagged fibers which could form splinters to damage mouth tissues.
