<p>A finger-mounted device (10) for cleaning teeth having an improved teeth cleaning surface formed by soft bristles, pick means (27) formed by shorter hard bristles for cleaning between the teeth, and means for providing a length of dental floss (30). The improved teeth cleaning surface consists of a plurality of concave surfaces (23) joined along their raised edges (24), each of the concave surface being adapted to clean a complementary shaped convex tooth surface and the raised edges being adapted to clean the tooth edges. A length of dental floss (30) is attached at one end to the device (31) and stored around a spool (32) attached to the device, the opposite end of the floss (34) being attached to ring means (33) which is also mounted on the device but detachable therefrom for unwinding the floss from the spool and holding the floss taut between the ring and device in a teeth flossing position.</p> |
