Abstract
An interdental cleaning device having a clevis freely pivoted on one end of a shank. A brush carrier is detachably connected to and extends through the clevis and is engageable with a plurality of recesses formed on the end of the shank so that the clevis and associated brush carrier can be adjustably fixed at various angles to facilitate cleaning the interdental spaces from different sides of the oral cavity. A housing is provided which can be slidably mounted on the shank to provide either a handle for the device or a protective covering for the brush, carrier and clevis when not in use.
