Claim 0:
1. A combination toothbrush and toothpaste dispenser, comprising:
a) a proximal end, a distal end opposite the proximal end, a top side in between the proximal end and the distal end, and a bottom side opposite the top side and in between the proximal end and the distal end;
b) a handle comprising an upper housing defining at least a portion of the proximal end and the top side, and a lower housing defining at least a portion of the proximal end and the bottom side, the lower housing operatively connected to the upper housing and defining a first chamber;
c) a head operatively connected to the handle opposite the proximal end, the head defining the distal end, and a second chamber, wherein the first chamber and second chamber are in fluid communication, wherein the head defines a hole in fluid communications with the second chamber, wherein the handle and the head define a length of the toothbrush from the proximal end to the distal end;
d) bristles projecting from the head on the top side, the bristles surrounding the hole;
e) a tube configured to extend substantially the length of the toothbrush, wherein the tube is configured to be housed in the handle and the head, the tube defining a seam configured to be sandwiched between the upper housing and the lower housing;
f) a cap defining a first compartment, a second compartment adjacent to the first compartment, and an opening to the first compartment and the second compartment, the cap comprising a barrier and a lid, the barrier configured to separate the first compartment from the second compartment, the first compartment configured to receive the head and the bristles, and the lid configured to cover the opening and the first compartment and second compartment, the lid comprising a spike configured to enter the hole of the head when the lid is placed on the cap, the cap and the lid defining an exit port when the lid is mounted on the cap;
g) a dispenser mounted on the handle and configured to move longitudinally along the handle on the top side in a direction from the proximal end towards the distal end, wherein the dispenser comprises a slider mounted on the top side of the handle and a bumper housed inside the chamber and configured to squeeze the tube when the slider is moved from the proximal end towards the distal end;
h) a floss spool mounted in the second compartment of the cap, the floss spool configured for holding a dental floss;
i) a gasket configured to fit between the lid and the cap to create a water tight seal around the second compartment, the gasket configured to allow the dental floss to pass through the exit port;
j) a floss cutter positioned on the cap adjacent to the exit port; and
k) a spacer configured to be positioned between the lid and the cap to create a distance between the lid and the cap sufficient to prevent the spike from entering the hole.
