1. A finger-wearable oral hygiene device comprising a proximal section, a central section, a distal section, and a central axis, wherein the device comprises:
a body member having a tapered shape with proximal and distal ends, a length between the ends, and a circumference;
wherein the proximal end has an opening for insertion of a finger, and the distal end is closed;
a wall defining the body member providing outer and inner surfaces;
a plurality of extensions extending from the outer surface of the body member, wherein
(a) the plurality of extensions extend around at least most of the circumference of the body member, and
(b) the extensions are longer near the distal end of the device and shorter near the proximal end of the device,
wherein the proximal section has (i) a proximal section body member width, and (ii) a proximal section device width as measured from opposite extension tips in the proximal section;
wherein the distal section has (iii) a distal section body member width, and (iv) a distal section device width as measured from opposite extension tips in the distal section, and
wherein (i) is greater than (iii), and (iv) is greater than (ii).
