Abstract:
An eating utensil such as a disposable plastic fork, spoon, knife, or combination thereof, is combined with at least one oral cleaning device such as a toothpick, interdental pick, brush, tongue cleaner and/or a dental flosser for personal use after eating in a location where oral cleaning facilities may not be otherwise available. In some embodiments the oral cleaning device may be permanently attached to the eating utensil, which can serve as a handle for using the oral cleaning device. In other embodiments the oral cleaning device may be displaced in a snap-off or bend-away manner at score lines to expose the oral cleaning device for use, either still attached to the utensil or removed for separate use, optionally configured with a thumb-finger grip tab.
