A dental hygiene system in which a single elongated handle having a recess in its distal end receives a plurality of carrying members holding different dental hygiene elements. The carrying members have resilient portions retained in the handle recess by way of either a latching portion in a slot in the handle or by way of a frictional fit in the handle recess. A lever is positioned in the slot in the handle for releasing the carrying members with the latching portion.

[ What we claim is:] [1.] A dental hygiene system comprising:an elongated handle having a proximal gripping section and a distal attachment section;the attachment section having a distal end and a recess opening into an aperture in the distal end;the attachment section also having a top surface and a slot formed in the top surface, in communication with the recess;a plurality of members for carrying dental hygiene elements, the carrying members each having engagement potions for attachment to the handle;at least some of the carrying members including elastomeric engagement portions which hold the carrying members in the recess of the handle;the engagement portions of at least some of the carrying members having a resilient member carrying means for latching in the slot to hold the carrying members in the handle of the recess; anda release lever positioned in the slot of the handle so that pressure applied to the release lever will move the latching means clear of the slot so that carrying members can be removed from the recess.
