ABSTRACT:
A power actuated toothbrush is provided wherein the brush consists of a plurality of tufts which are individually driven by means whereby the tufts are forced to move coaxially back and forth against the teeth to give a jackhammer-type action. The tufts may be driven mechanically, or by a fluid drive, preferably pneumatic. The tufts automatically adapt for irregularities in the teeth and gums and enter the sulcus and embrasures for thorough cleaning.
