Abstract: The described toothbrush comprises a bristle-incorporating brushing element which is attached to a flexible sheath into which a person's finger can be inserted to control the brushing action of the brushing element. A second embodiment includes, in addition, at least one pair of expansible ears protruding upwardly from the brushing element to at least partially encircle the sheath extending therebetween for providing additional clamping action of the brushing element against a user's finger to provide improved control of the brushing action.
