The present invention comprises a toothbrush supporting brushing behavior
reinforcement means. A simple motion sensing means is electrically
connected to a brushing logic means, which determines generalized brushing
action of a user preferably a child. After the logic requirements of
motion sensing are complete, the logic means directs a digital output
display means to output to a small LCD screen or speaker a visual and/or
audible reward to the user, preferably in the form of an enjoyable game or
congratulatory message. A grid of electrical contacts may be used to
determine motion or direction when connected with logic means.
