ABSTRACT:
A dental floss holder includes a pair of elongated arm members (11), including cross member (14) located between said arm members (11). The arm members (11) are attached at first ends (12) and have floss holding slits (23) at second ends (13). The second ends may be squeezed toward one another to fasten the floss (15). The resiliency of the arm members (11) tautens the floss (15) upon the second ends (13) being released. As the floss (15) stretches during use, the arm members (11) may be squeezed toward one another causing the second ends (13) to pivot about the cross member (14), thereby restoring the floss (15) to its taut state.
