Child friendly toothbrush with 360 degree bristles

Abstract

We have invented a new toothbrush which we believe will make brushing teeth more pleasurable to children. The toothbrush has bristles arranged in a 360 degree pattern around the head. Alternatively, the bristles are arranged on both the top and bottom surfaces of the head. As a result, hitting of the gums and the inside of the mouth with the uncomfortable plastic surface of the head of the brush is eliminated, making brushing less objectionable to small children. The toothbrush may also be enjoyed by adults, as it massages and cleans the inside of the mouth at the same time that teeth are brushed.

1 . A toothbrush consisting of a handle and a head, connected through a neck, wherein the bristles are arranged in a 360 degree pattern around the head.
