Abstract

A dental flosser (10) including a plastic handle (12) having proximal and distal ends, a flosser head (14) at the distal end of the handle, and two spaced apart arms (32) extending from the flosser head (14). Two distal end portions (20) extend from the arms (32) and secure a strand of floss (22). The distal end portions (20) are wider than the respective arms to increase the force required to pull the floss (22) through the distal end portions. The distal end portions (20) may intersect and extend through an interior and exterior plane defined by the interior and exterior surfaces of the arms.

FIG. 3 is a front view thereof;
FIG. 4 is a rear view thereof;
FIG. 5 is a top view thereof; and,
