Abstract

Our invention relates to a 'Dental Flosser and Dispenser'. A particular application is for the device to be able to effectively floss and clean one's teeth free of food debris, plaque, tartar, and other such material imbedded in-between one's teeth, in particular after having a meal. The device's main focus is to replace the awkward use of tying and twining of the dental floss thread into one's fingers and hands (left) into the other one's fingers and hands (right) to floss one's teeth. The invention is designed not only to eliminate the use of ones hand in flossing but also to dispense the dental floss thread in a highly, effective, calibrated manner. The device, with its unique design, is able to both hold and dispense the dental floss thread in an easy, simple motion. Because of the nature of its intended use and purpose for personal use in one's oral hygiene and dental care and for safety and health concerns, the device is designed and manufactured for use as a one-time use disposable item. The device is recommended for individual use only and recommended for use much like a toothbrush in a personal way.
