floss pick

Handled dental thread

A floss pick is a small disposable dental tool consisting of a short length of floss strung between two prongs of a plastic holder, often with a pointed or textured end for additional cleaning.

It allows one-handed flossing and is more convenient than traditional string floss, making it popular for on-the-go use.

I keep floss picks in my car for after lunch.
