A plurality of tooth cleaning elements (130) are provided on a front surface of the head. The head is formed by a plurality of spaced-apart segments (140,141,142,143,144,145) made of a rigid material. The segments are isolated from one another by channels (157,158A,158B,159A,159B) containing an elastomeric material that flexibly connects the segments together.
