A teething ring device for massaging the gums of an infant. The inventive device includes an annular teething ring having a plurality of radial extension members projecting therefrom.

The rotatable coupling of the teething ring to the vibration handle permits the ring to rotate relative to the handle in response to the vibration imparted thereto.
