The dental floss is contained within the base and a supply of fluid is contained within the handle. The base and the handle removably engage each other, frictionally clamping one end of the dental floss therebetween. Both the fluid and the other end of the dental floss exit through a fluid ejection conduit of the base. The floss is removably engaged to a floss locking tip near the terminal end of the floss stem, allowing the user to utilize the dental floss to clean his teeth. While flossing his teeth, the user can squeeze the handle and spray fluid, such as mouth wash, down the length of the dental floss and into his mouth.
