ABSTRACT:
A three-component, tamper resistant, toothbrush comprises a brush and flossing device connected by a handle portion which is sufficiently flexible to allow the brush to be bent back and contact the flossing device without excessive force being applied by the user. The brush is covered by a dry or wet dentifrice, or a dentifrice-water paste. A thin plastic cover surrounds and seals the brush and provides a vacuum seal which maintains sterility and allows the brush to be precoated with dentifrice and retain the pre-moistened dentifrice within the cover. The flossing device comprises forklike prongs between which is mounted a free span of floss under tension. A socket attachment may be provided so that additional implements such as stimulators, plaque removers, etc., can be connected to the device for use in a convenient manner. If desired, the handle can be bent back to enable the dentifrice-coated brush to contact the floss and apply some of the dentifrice thereto.
