A one-piece thermoplastic oral hygiene implement includes a central grip having an interproximal brush projecting from one end. The brush includes an axial calamus having a planar fishbone array of graduated length bristles. Extending from the opposite end of the grip is a pick comprising a tapered wedge. Lateral flanks of the wedge include an array of spaced discrete transverse ribs. The interproximal brush and the pick are selectively employed to remove plaque, incipient calculus, food debris and the like from proximal surfaces and interproximal areas as well as for cleansing periodontal pockets and for gingival stimulation.
