See full text

An oral care implement includes a display and/or a plurality of other lighted regions, together with an element for inducing motion in a head region. The display and/or lights are used to provide instructions to the user regarding a periodically-performed oral care regimen. The motion-inducing element can be pulsed or otherwise selectively activated to signal different intervals in the regimen. Upon successful conclusion of the oral care regimen, the lights and/or display and the motion-inducing element are used to provide a game or other entertainment to the user.
