The present invention relates to an improved device and method for flossing teeth. The device has a handle portion (12) and a finger portion (11). The finger portion (11) is inserted into an individual's mouth, and the handle portion (12) is used for holding the dental flossing device. In a first embodiment, the dental flossing device has two apertures (13, 24) spaced along the finger portion (11). The flossing material (15) is threaded through the first aperture (13) and then the second aperture (24). A user presses one end of the flossing material (15) against the device to keep the flossing material (15) taut. The other end of the flossing material (15), extending from an aperture (24) at the distal end (14) of the device, is held by the user's fingers or is wrapped around a finger, depending on the individual's personal technique. Thereafter, the finger portion (11) of the device is inserted into the mouth and flossing is performed.
