A toothbrush is provided with a brush portion (5) in the form of a unitary plastics moulding, the moulding having an array of flexible projections (501) formed therein and being anchored to a portion (2) of the toothbrush handle (1) by projections (301) which are received within tapered holes previously formed in the handle (1). The projections (501) preferably taper towards their extremities and may be rounded at their tips. The brush portion (5) may be formed by moulding suitable plastics material in contact with the previously formed handle (1). The toothbrush is suitable for use by persons with gum disease, since it reduces abrasion of the gums whilst providing a satisfactory cleaning action. <IMAGE>
