A tooth-brush is provided which has a brush shank (4) adapted to be driven electrically by a drive (2) and provided with a brush-head (5) having bristles (6), which brush-head performs movement (8), for example, a loosening movement whose frequency is higher than 30 Hz and whose amplitude is between 0.1 mm and 5 mm, which brush-head performs an additional movement (9), for example, a wiping movement having a frequency of between 1 Hz and 5 Hz. The combination of a rapid loosening movement and a slow wiping movement ensures that the teeth are cleaned in a thorough but gentle manner.
