Floss is easy, just carry some packets of Glide Floss in a wallet. How do you EDC a toothbrush?

Good idea...I'd say carrying floss is more important than carrying a toothbrush. I could replicate a toothbrush well enough. It's harder to substitute floss. Plus, floss can be carried in a tiny package. By the way, everyday carry of a travel toothbrush and floss is EASY with a man bag!

Or you can get the these, 10 for $10.

I also carry one of these in my workbag.

And then there the Colgate Wisps.

The flosscards are nice in that you get 12 yards in a continuous length. The 'toob' brush carries its own toothpaste, you fill it with whatever brand you want. The Wisps seem convenient at first but the dual packaging makes it hard to use one without ending up contaminating the other.

I'm not sure when, or why, I stopped but I used to wind a length of floss around grip end of one of the keys I carried. Six or eight feet of floss pretty much disappears and buying on a 300 yards rolls saves a few pennies.

Same here. Got that from traveling years ago. Flight was delayed overnight due to bad weather and everyone, hotel, airline, etc. was out of complementary toiletry kits. Going to bed after a full day of traveling having not flossed and brushed is just a nasty feeling. Not to mention a great way to get cavities. And we all hate the high pitched sound of that dental drill, weeeeeeee....
