Disposable toothbrush with internal toothpaste gel with mini breath freshener crystals, sponge tongue pad and dental floss dispenser assembly

Abstract

The toothbrush assembly comprises a brush head assembly connected to an elongate tubular handle housing having a rotatable base attached at the distal end. The brush head assembly comprises a head with rows of bristles surrounded by a plurality of apertures, and a hollow stem. The rear surface of the head has an attached sponge pad. The hollow stem has a channel disposed along a longitudinal axis therein for fluid communication with the apertures in the head on one end and with the toothpaste/gel filled in the housing on an opposing end. A non-toxic plastic coiled stem extends up from the top center of the base and a circular platform surrounds the stem. Turning the base activates the platform to move up the stem and pressurize the toothpaste/gel in the housing and propel it up the channel and out through the apertures. A floss dispenser is conveniently housed in the base.
