Abstract
A dental flosser is described wherein a pair of floss-holding arms can be moved in parallel motion so as to enhance the cleaning action of a dental floss. The dental floss is provided with beads that releasably engage the arm ends in tension in a manner so that vigorous action of the dental flosser does not release the floss, yet enables its easy removal after use. The dental flosser is formed of a convenient unitary plastic structure in which movable components are affixed with live hinges. Various beaded dental floss forms are described.
