1. A toothbrush comprising:
- a handle;
said handle being made of a light guiding material, and having a first side and a second side opposite said first side;
a plurality of bristles extending from said first side and adjacent to a first end;
a single electronic circuit consisting essentially of;
a first conductive member mounted in said handle adjacent to said plurality of bristles having a portion extending outward from said handle;
an electronic control circuit embedded in said handle electrically connected to said first conductive member;
a second conductive member mounted in said handle;
a source of electrical power mounted within said handle electrically connected to said electronic control circuit and said second conductive member; and
a single light source visible through said first side and said second side;
wherein said single electronic circuit activates said source of electrical power and said light source when said second conductive member is gripped by a user and said first conductive member is moistened.

Abstract
A toothbrush having a circuit for improving oral cavity health, displaying innovative light performance, allowing easy operation and reduced production cost. The toothbrush includes an electronic circuit disposed within a handle of the toothbrush, a power source, a light source, and a device to release ions. Ions are automatically generated within an oral cavity when a user holds the handle and wets the toothbrush with water, thus helping to maintain oral hygiene and providing a dazzling light performance emitted from the handle.
