Abstract

A finger toothbrush for brushing the teeth of a patient comprises a soft, for example rubbery, flexible outer housing defining an elongated rubbery housing internal volume, with the flexible outer housing having an outside surface and an internal surface. The flexible outer housing has a proximal end and a distal end. A finger receiving member defines an internal volume for receiving a finger of an individual. The finger receiving member is more rigid than the soft flexible outer housing and is positioned within or incorporated into the outer housing layer, for example, as coil or wire. The finger receiving member is positioned with its outer surface being positioned radially inwardly from the outer surface of the rubbery flexible outer housing. The rubbery flexible outer housing is made of a material compressible enough to absorb the pressure of teeth biting down against the finger receiving member without the teeth being damaged. A cluster of scrubbing surfaces extend from the outer surface of the rubbery flexible outer housing.
