A toothbrush is provided which avoids the use of a rigid handle. The toothbrush utilizes a brushing element mounted on a sheath that fits over the tip of a user's finger. The brushing element may include a plurality of bristles projecting outwardly from a stiff base which holds the bristles so as to extend away from the finger of a user. The bristles therefore will not collapse against the sheath, but can be used to dislodge food particles from between the teeth. An alternative brushing element may take the form of a brush pad formed as a unitary structure from a resilient, water impervious material and having a multiplicity of protuberances that project therefrom outwardly away from the prophylactic rubber sheath mounted on the user's fingers. The protuberances aid in dislodging food. A stiff rubber pick may also be mounted on the sheath, either projecting from the center of the brush pad, or at a laterally spaced location therefrom. In still another embodiment the brushing element is formed as a brush pad constructed of a moisture absorbent material, such as felt or reticulating foam. The moisture absorbent brush pad may be impregnated with a dental hygienic substance such as a mouthwash or a dentifrice.

A lumbar support heating/cooling support belt is adapted to be worn over the lumbar spine and around the back of the user for back pain. The support has one pocket in the lower back section of the support. The pocket is capable of removably receiving a packet to create a thermal change in the pocket or provide air or foam rubber packets for support. There is an optional secondary support that runs over and attaches to the primary support. This provides additional desired muscular support by tightly or snugly adjusting via Velcro attachments around the back and sides. Then there are two criss-cross supports over the outer primary support which provide optional stiffness if desired by user. The two criss-cross supports both have an attached pocket which can house plastic or metal stays for even more support. This support provides the user many options and combinations in which to wear the support using all or some of the optional supports. The user also has the option to use one of various therapeutic devices at the same time. The wearer can use this support in any way or combination which best supports or controls his or her back pain.

A therapeutic garment is adapted to be worn on a human torso for therapeutic treatment of back pain. The garment has at least one pocket in the lower back section of the garment. The pocket is capable of removably receiving a packet to create a thermal change in the pocket. The distance between the pocket and the upper back section of the garment is adjustable so that the garment can be used by persons of different torso length.
