The present invention is directed to a toothbrush and in particular to a combination folding toothbrush-toothpaste system. The system is compact and can be readily made tamper resistant. The folding toothbrush is readily carried in one's pocket or purse. The toothbrush of the present invention in its simplest form has a two section handle. A first handle section having a brush end with bristles and a second handle section having a terminal end with a protrusion containing a reservoir. The reservoir is contoured to conform to the profile of the brush. Means for connecting and pivotally rotating the first handle section with respect to the second handle section are provided. It is preferred that the pivotable motion be limited between the first handle section and the second handle section such, that when the toothbrush is in the open position the protrusion and the bristles of the brush are diametrically opposed. When the toothbrush is in a closed position the reservoir encompasses the bristles.
