Double-ended oral care device with interchangeable snap-on flossers and disposable implements

Abstract

A multiple purpose oral care device is provided. The device comprises a two-ended manual tool with ergonomically shaped handle and attachment components located at least at a first end to accommodate semi-circular snap-on flossers. The device also comprises disposable implements for dental and gum care that attach to the snap-on flossers and comprise optional structures. The disposable implements comprise at least one of brushes and gum stimulators and are situated at ends of the snap-on flossers. A first optional structure combines a snap-on flosser and two parallel inter-proximal brushes, one on each end of the flosser. The first optional structure is directed to orthodontic patients with braces and patients with fixed restorations comprising at least one of crowns and bridges. A second optional structure comprises two gum stimulators, one with each attached on opposite sides of the snap-on flosser, pointing inward to each other and parallel to floss.
