The cleaning elements project upwards from the base section and have inwards-turned surfaces that together form a central cavity for to contain the tooth cleaning agent; the upper section of the cleaning elements ends in an upper end having a chisel shaped slanted cleaning surface designed so that to engage teeth and gums. The slanted cleaning surface of each cleaning element extends upwards from the head and is inclined inwards in the direction of the cleaning element central axis at an angle less than 90° relative to the cleaning element surface turned inwards. One version of the device design is characterised by a ring shape of the continuous side wall and an arched shape of the cleaning element, with the cleaning element base section representing an integral cylinder. The other version of the device design is characterised by a cylindrical configuration of the flexible elastomer tooth-cleaning element, orientation of the slanted cleaning surfaces of the cleaning elements so that to be turned outwards from the vertical central axis and a bristle element in place.
