Star-shaped microfiber dental floss with nodules

A dental floss apparatus comprising:

• one or more star-shaped microfiber dental floss strands,
• wherein the one or more star-shaped microfiber dental floss strands each independently comprise one or more star-shaped microfiber yarns;
• two or more nodules coupled to and equally spaced along the one or more star-shaped microfiber dental floss strands,
• wherein two or more nodules are each independently coupled to each of the one or more star-shaped microfiber strands by haying the one or more star-shaped microfiber strands extend through a cavity in the two or more nodules, and
• with the proviso that the one or more nodules are not of a size and a shape that minimizes the possibility of damaging the gums of a user of the dental flossing apparatus, and the one or more nodules each independently having a shape an outer surface of which meets the longitudinal axis of one or more star-shaped microfiber strands at a relatively steep angle to facilitate dislodging and removing unwanted particles both on the surface of teeth and lodged between adjacent teeth.

A dental flossing apparatus comprising:

• one or more star-shaped microfiber dental floss strands,
• wherein the one or more star-shaped microfiber dental floss strands each independently comprise one or more star-shaped microfiber yarns,
• wherein the one or more star-shaped microfiber yarns each independently comprise one or more therapeutic agents;
• two or more nodules coupled to and equally spaced along the one or more star-shaped microfiber dental floss strands,
• wherein the two or more nodules are spaced at least three inches apart along the one or more star-shaped microfiber dental floss strands,
• wherein two or more nodules are each independently coupled to each of the one or more star-shaped microfiber strands by having the one or more star-shaped microfiber strands extend through a cavity in the two or more nodules, and with the proviso that the one or more nodules are not of a size and a shape that minimizes the possibility of damaging the gums of a user of the dental flossing apparatus, and the one or more nodules each independently having a shape an outer surface of which meets the longitudinal axis of one or more star-shaped microfiber strands at a relatively steep angle to facilitate dislodging and removing unwanted particles both on the surface of teeth and lodged between adjacent teeth.
