A suction oral brush. The oral brush can include a handle having a longitudinal direction and a lumen, and can be adapted to be coupled to a suction source. Bristles can extend outwardly of a first side of a distal end of the handle. A proximal aperture can be formed in the first side of the distal end of the handle that is in fluid communication with the lumen of the handle. The proximal aperture can include a distal end and a proximal end positioned no further distally than a proximal end of the bristles. A distal aperture in fluid communication with the lumen can be formed in a sidewall of the distal end of the handle, and can have a width greater than its height. The bristles can be arranged such that none of the bristles lie on the centerline of the distal end of the handle.
