Abstract A combination nozzle and dental floss assembly formed of two major components fixedly secured to each other. One component is an elongated tubular member that functions as a nozzle and which has a curved tip portion at its top end. The bottom end of the tubular member has an attachment head for detachably connecting it to the oral hygiene flushing apparatus. An inlet port is formed in the bottom end of the tubular member and an outlet port is formed at its top end. The second component is a panel member that extends laterally from the tubular member and it has a finger member whose tip is oriented a predetermined spaced distance from the outlet port of the tubular member. A spool of dental floss is detachably mounted upon the panel member and is covered by a cap. The dental floss is threaded inwardly through an aperture in the tubular member and outwardly through the outlet port across to the tip of the finger member and then wound around a boss member extending upwardly from the panel member.
A combination nozzle and dental floss assembly for oral hygiene flushing apparatus comprising: an elongated nozzle having an inlet port and an outlet port formed in its respective opposite ends: and a finger member having a bottom end and said bottom end is connected to said nozzle, said finger member having a tip that is spaced a predetermined distance from the outlet port of said nozzle; and means for detachably stringing a predetermined length of dental floss between the tip of said finger member end and the outlet port of said elongated nozzle.
