An oral care implement that rotates about a longitudinal axis. In one aspect the invention can be an oral care implement comprising: a head a handle extending along a longitudinal axis and having a flat base surface a mechanical vibratory device operatively connected to a power source the mechanical vibratory device comprising an eccentric imparting movement to the head when activated and wherein the flat base surface is oriented relative to the longitudinal axis of the handle so that the oral care implement can stand in a self supporting upright orientation on a horizontal flat surface and wherein when the oral care implement stands in the self supporting upright orientation and the mechanical vibratory device is activated the oral care implement rotates about the longitudinal axis while maintaining the self supporting upright orientation.
