ABSTRACT:
The present invention concerns a device for cleaning teeth or gaps between teeth and comprises a handle to hold the device and an operative part, mounted at the end of the handle, with a filamentary or tape-shaped cleaning medium acting on the teeth and/or the teeth gaps when the device is being used. To assure intensive cleaning specially in the molar zone, the operative part is supported at the handle in a pivoting manner about an axis fixed relative to this handle and is guided by the teeth gap during cleaning. The fastening system preferably is such that the operative part is exchangeable in the handle. The operative part is a dental-floss holder comprising a bail with a segment of filamentary dental floss affixed between its free-end legs. The bail is supported at the handle about an axis essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the dental-floss filament.
