Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a novel and improved toothbrush construction which provides not only effective brushing action on the teeth, but also imparts a gentle yet highly effective massaging action to the gums as well as the dental underpinnings. The brushing head assembly of the new device is arranged for either rotary or nonrotary operation and includes a pair of opposed, generally circular flange-forming members, formed of a soft, closed cell foam material, and central, generally lense-shaped portions of a material of substantially less resilience. These flange-forming members are separated by a central impact cushion, somewhat disc-like in shape and formed of soft foam material. The entire assembly is held under axial compression by a pair of opposed cup-like restrainig hubs.
