Abstract
A warmer for heating a toothpaste container. The container may be either a toothpaste tube or a pump. The warmer has a toothpaste compartment with a central cavity to hold the toothpaste container. The toothpaste compartment is attached to a base which is preferably weighted to prevent tipping. An electrical heating element may be located entirely in the base or may partially surround the central cavity. The heating element may be controlled by a timer so that the toothpaste is heated at preset times. A toothbrush compartment may be attached to the toothpaste compartment for heating a toothbrush. The warm toothpaste makes tooth brushing more comfortable and pleasant for persons whose teeth are sensitive to the cold.
