[Prior art]

 It is known that massage of gums as well as toothpaste is effective for prevention or treatment of periodontitis such as alveolar pyorrhea. As a method of massaging the gums, a method of simultaneously brushing the teeth with a regular brush for brushing teeth, a method of using a brush exclusively for massage, or a method of massaging the gums by water pressure using a water jet machine (water pick), etc. Is known.

However, the conventional toothbrushing brush has a drawback that it does not fit well to the gum shape and the mass surge effect is not sufficiently improved, and that the tip of the brush damages the soft gum. On the other hand, when using a massage-only brush, it was necessary to prepare two brushes for brushing the teeth, and it was troublesome to replace the brush before or after brushing. In addition, using these brushes requires a considerable amount of skill to achieve a sufficient massage effect, which is difficult for children and infants, and few adults even last long. Although water jet machines have a high massaging effect and are in fashion recently, they are not easy to use and expensive.
