Description

Floss {Dental floss}

The present invention relates to a floss, more particularly to a dental floss with an interdental toothbrush in which the ability to clean teeth is improved.

Generally, a dental floss is used to remove food waste or foreign matter trapped between teeth by a user grasping with both hands and extending a part extending between the hands to the teeth.

The interdental toothbrush, which is used as an oral hygiene tool, is mainly used to remove foreign matter (food waste, tartar, bacterial film, plaque, etc.) caught in the gap between the tooth which is difficult to reach by a general toothbrush.

Typically, people carry floss mainly, and use floss to remove foreign substances between teeth after meals or snacks, but these dental floss often do not completely remove foreign matter.
