A dental floss dispenser (1) having a clip (2) located on a rear surface (11) of the dispenser for attaching the dispenser to a tube of toothpaste (5). The clip attaches to a lower edge of a tube of toothpaste and serves a dual purpose. The first purpose being to remind an individual to floss when brushing his or her teeth and the second purpose being to squeeze the toothpaste in the tube upward toward the opening of the tube as the toothpaste is dispensed out of the tube. The clip may also be a planar piece of material that is perpendicular to the dispenser and has a slot (18) that a lower edge of the tube is inserted into. The clip may be integrated into the dispenser or attached to the dispenser by a holder (10).
