ABSTRACT:
A dental flossing aid device for use with a length of floss, mainly those formed as an endless loop, comprises a floss stretcher and a fork. The fork has an elongated handle and a pair of spaced apart fork prongs extending from one end of the handle. The floss stretcher comprises an elongated floss stretcher arm, a group of spaced apart floss holding teeth coupled to the stretcher arm, and a coupling pivotally connecting the fork to an end of the stretcher arm. In use, a length of floss is extended from one of the floss holding teeth and across the free ends of the prongs and the stretcher arm is pivoted so as to stretch the portion of the length of floss which extends across the substantially immobile free ends of the prongs.
