ABSTRACT:
A dental floss dispenser comprising a container, a feed through tube, a twist-and-lock mechanism, and a barrel. The container is adapted to hold a reel of dental floss which is connected to a barrel. A tube is inserted into the barrel and dental floss is fed through the tube emerging at a feed through hole in a second end. The tube has a flared end cap which extends beyond the barrel tip. A twist-open-and-lock mechanism causes the flared end cap to behave in a reciprocating manner with respect to the barrel tip thereby alternately freeing and pinching the floss against the barrel tip.
