ABSTRACT:
A dental flossing attachment 10 which imparts oscillatory motion to a strand of dental floss 19 inserted between the teeth. The attachment is adapted to mount on a drive shaft 14 of an electric tooth brush. The attachment has a housing 11 which contains a supply spool 18 and a take-up spool 21. An advancing mechanism is provided whereby fresh floss 19 may be positioned between two prongs 16 at the end of the housing 11 by turning a knob 22 without the need for manual threading of the dental floss through grooves or eyelets. When fresh dental floss is exhausted, the used attachment 10 is removed from the drive shaft 14 and a new attachment 10 is snapped into its place.
