Abstract
A dental floss device comprises an elongated handle with a U-shaped flossing head projecting from one end of the handle. A strand of dental floss originated from a supply spool containing pre-wound fresh floss passes through the flossing head and emerges back to a take-up spool for containing spent floss. Dispensing floss and providing tension on the floss are controlled by the fingers of the holding hand on both supply spool and take-up spool which are rotatably mounted on the handle. The spools are also detachably mounted on the handle so that spent floss can be discarded and the take-up spool can be cleaned at will with ease and exhausted supply spools can easily be replaced with new, pre-wound spools like cartridges thus making the device reusable.
