A brush head for an electric toothbrush including a neck connectable to a handle of the electric toothbrush, and a bristle carrier pivotally supported by a pivot support at the neck about a pivot axis extending transverse to a longitudinal axis of the neck, wherein the bristle carrier is provided with a drive joint connectable to a swivel element swiveling about a drive shaft axis substantially parallel to said longitudinal axis of the neck, the drive joint being radially spaced apart from the pivot axis of the bristle carrier and adapted to allow pivoting movement of the swivel element relative to the bristle carrier about a drive joint axis substantially parallel to the pivot axis of the bristle carrier. In The pivot support of the bristle carrier provides for transverse movability thereof relative to the pivot axis and/or of the pivot axis relative to the neck along a transverse axis extending transverse to the pivot axis. The drive joint is adapted to transmit driving forces of said swivel element to the bristle carrier in the direction of the transverse axis.
