Abstract
A finger puppet toothbrush may include character features, such as an imitation animal body, arms, legs, teeth, eyes, tail, etc. The various character features may provide different brushing functions to the toothbrush. However, due to the disguised appearance of the functional features as character parts, small children may be enticed to use the toothbrush more willingly and develop proper dental hygiene.
