  • Patent number: 5970992
    Abstract: A dental flossing device for removing food and debris from between teeth and crowns. The dental flossing device includes an elongate arcuate bow member with opposite first and second ends. A pair of floss loops are linked together and each floss loop is coupled to an end of the bow member. Each of the floss loops may extend into an aperture of the respective end of the bow member and be coupled in the apertures. Alternatively, each of the ends of the bow member has a pair of finger portions forming a channel between them. First and second floss loops extend between the first and second ends of the bow member. Each of the floss loops comprises a length of dental floss. The length of dental floss of the first floss loop extends through the second floss loop such that the floss loops are linked together. The first floss loop extends through the channel of the first end of the bow member. The second floss loop extends through the channel of the second end of the bow member.
