ABSTRACT:
A new Dental Floss Tool for orienting and securing a length of dental floss in a convenient to use manner. The inventive device includes a handle piece, an intermediate piece joined to and extending from the handle piece, and a head piece joined to and extending from the intermediate piece wherein the head piece includes a pair of spaced tines extending therefrom. Furthermore, a spool of dental floss is positioned within the handle piece. A working length of the dental floss extends from the handle piece and passes along the intermediate piece towards the head piece, across the pair of spaced tines, back towards the intermediate piece, and around a take-up wheel. While passing along the intermediate piece, the dental floss passes through an actuator button which, when actuated, causes the dental floss spanning the pair of spaced tines to move laterally.
