Abstract: A dental-hygiene device is configured to receive a replaceable toothbrush and to provide a conveniently accessible source of dental floss. Generally, the device includes a handle for removably receiving a toothbrush, the handle defining an interior cavity; a supply of dental floss disposed within the interior cavity of the handle; provision for withdrawal of the dental floss through the handle; and a pivotable blade assembly, for separating a withdrawn length of dental floss from the supply.

Abstract: An array of toothbrushes that may be individually withdrawn from a single, conveniently stored unit. The brushes may contain fewer and/or less durable bristles compared with commercially marketed items, or may instead be configured for use on patients having special dental needs. An optional extension feature permits the array to be manufactured with relatively small planar dimensions, thereby further reducing storage requirements, and also improves the convenience of use by providing a more comfortable grip.
