ABSTRACT:
A toothpick holder for holding a toothpick in any one of several adjusted positions for facilitating access to difficult to reach areas of the mouth, includes a handle with a toothpick retainer projecting perpendicularly therefrom, with aligned openings in the retainer for snugly receiving a toothpick. The retainer is held latched in position relative to the handle by a releasable latch, which can be manipulated to release the retainer either for removal from the handle or adjustment to a different position relative thereto. The openings in the retainer are of different size and are configured to snugly receive at both openings spaced portions of a toothpick. Further, the holder of the invention is specifically designed to properly orient a toothpick having a wedge shaped cross section for optimum cleaning of the space between the teeth.
