Abstract
A device for cleaning the mouth or teeth has a rod-shaped support, on one axial end of which an interdental cleaner made of a flexible plastic is arranged. A brush-like cleaning part made of a flexible plastic, and having a plurality of protruding cleaning elements, is arranged at the opposite axial end of the rod-shaped support. In addition, the rod-shaped support has a grip portion made of a flexible plastic and arranged preferably in the central area of the axial length of the rod-shaped support. Provision is made that the grip portion is connected, via at least one connecting portion, to the interdental cleaner and/or to the brush-like cleaning part so as to form a one-piece structure.
