ABSTRACT:
The present invention includes a housing having a plurality of individual sections of dental floss. Each of the floss sections includes a pair of balls in which opposite ends of the floss section are embedded. The balls are removably joined to the housing and mountable between extensions of a tooth brush-like hand tool which is manipulated during the flossing of teeth. The tool extensions are resiliently compressible together via angled face portions of the housing to be disposed between the balls. The tool extensions subsequently extend outwardly to engage the balls to remove the floss sections from the housings for flossing. After flossing, the floss sections are removed from the tool extensions by utilizing a container that includes angled face portions for drawing the extensions toward each other whereby the floss sections are released into the container for disposal.
