A dental device (10) that provides effective teeth and gum cleaning when the device (10) is chewed, rotated, and/or brushed across the teeth is disclosed. The device (10) includes a body (12) presenting a multifaceted bristle-supporting surface (20) extending substantially around the circumference of at least a portion of the body (12). The device (10) further includes bristles (14) fixed relative to, and extending from, the facets (24,26) of the bristle-supporting surface (20). In the preferred embodiment, the body (12) includes a base (16) and a handle (18) extending from one end of the base (16).
