flosser

Between-teeth hygiene tool

A flosser is a small plastic tool with a short length of dental floss stretched between two prongs, used to clean between teeth.

Flossers offer convenience over traditional floss spools, especially for reaching back teeth: She keeps flossers in her purse for after meals.

A flosser can also mean a person who flosses.
