ABSTRACT:
A multi-purpose dental applicator including a handle and an interchangeable removable member which can be a yoke supporting a length of dental floss, a toothbrush, a spiral wound wire tooth cleaning brush, a rubber tip gum massager, or a length of abrasive tape. The handle has an elongated shank for gripping purposes and a head piece having a receiving cavity for receiving the shank of the interchangeable removable member. The handle further incorporates threads on the outer surface of the head surrounding the receiving cavity. In the preferred embodiment, the receiving cavity is an opening extending into the body of the head in a generally inverted frustum shaped configuration which then extends into a spherical shaped cavity and thereafter extends into an arcuate section having the circumferential length of approximately twenty degrees to either side of the vertical or longitudinal axis of the head. This cavity is designed to receive a specially designed shank which design is common to all of the interchangeable removable members. The handle further comprises a slidable and threaded collar which can be slid onto and screwed around the opening to tighten the interchangeable removable member to the handle.
