ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for removing debris from between and around teeth including a main body member having first and second ends and a flossing implement operably associated therewith. The flossing implement is detachably connected to the main body member. The flossing implement includes first and second ends. The first end of the flossing implement is disposed adjacent the first end of the main body member. The second end of the flossing implement is removed from the first end of the main body member. The second end of the flossing implement includes first and second tines and an intermediate section connecting the first and second tines. The first and second tines each include projections for receiving the corresponding ends of the flossing material extending therebetween. Alternatively, or in addition, the first and second tines may be formed hollow and the intermediate section provided with an opening for receiving a removable flossing cartridge. Preferably, a protective housing is provided to house the flossing implement. A drive motor is operably connected to the flossing implement for reciprocally displacing the same.
