Abstract
A toothbrush, having handle and a resiliently flexible bristle-bearing head wherein, when the toothbrush is in its normal stress-free configuration, the free ends of bristles lying along a longitudinal and / or transverse axis of the brush form a generally concave profile adapted to suit the buccal surface of the teeth. The toothbrush head comprises one or more extensions which are integral with the handle, said extensions being substantially thinner than the handle and wholly or partially surrounded by an elastomeric material. The toothbrush head can flexibly conform to a convex profile to suit the labial surface of the teeth or to avoid damage to the gums. <IMAGE>
