Abstract:
The present invention addresses the problem of providing a combined-use tooth brush and electric tooth brush, that is capable of both cleaning between teeth and polishing teeth using one case body. An interdental brush member (2) is arranged on the tip of and along the axis line of a case body (1) with a built-in control unit (13) that includes a vibration generating means (11), a drive source for the vibration generating means (11), and a switch (14) for the vibration generating means (11) and the drive source (12); and said interdental brush member (2) has reciprocal motion due to vibration output by the vibration generating means (11). A tooth brush member (3) with an open bottom surface and a tooth brush (311) attached to the tip thereof is fittable to the tip of the case body (1) so as to removably cover the interdental brush member (2); and the tooth brush (311) has reciprocal motion when the tooth brush member (3) is attached, due to vibration output by the vibration generating means (11).
