A frusto-conical member has a planar rim disposed at a bottom closed end and a circular open portion disposed at a top end. A lid having a plurality holes formed therethrough inserts over the frusto-conical open portion and is retained by friction. An elongated portion of a toothbrush is inserted through one of the holes formed in the lid for retaining the toothbrush in an upright position such that bristles of the toothbrush are exposed to the ambient air. A grommet having a center aperture is inserted into one of the holes in the lid. Disposed underneath the grommet is a small housing for retaining a source of dental floss. The housing includes a cover having a tip portion which inserts through the grommet aperture. The source of dental floss threads through the tip portion and out through the grommet aperture. A small cutter element is disposed along an outer circumference of the frusto-conical member below the grommet and is used to cut a strand of desired length from the source of dental floss.
