The head of a toothbrush includes a tuft block having bristles wherein the tuft
block is moved in a direction parallel to the outer surface of the head. A second
tuft block having bristles is a vibrating section which is moved in and out in
a direction perpendicular to the outer surface of the head. If desired, the head
may also include a fixed section with fixed bristles. The movement of the first
tuft block may be an oscillating rotational movement.
