A dental flossing pick comprising: a body including a first arm and a first jaw (218, the first arm defining a recess; a lever including a second arm and a second jaw, the lever rotatably coupled to the body; at least one torsion spring coupled to the body and the lever; and a locking mechanism carried along the body, wherein the first arm and the second arm are rotatable toward one another, against a resistance force of the at least one torsion spring, from an open state to a closed state to form a handle, and in the closed state, the first jaw and the second jaw are clamped to one another, collectively forming a fork distal to the handle, the second arm of the lever is releasably securable in the recess in the closed state in which the first arm of the body and the second arm of the lever form the handle, releasable securement of the second arm of the lever in the recess of the body resists rotation of the lever and the body relative to one another under force of the at least one torsion spring, and the fork includes a first prong and a second prong defining therebetween a gap along which a length of dental floss material is supportable in tension, the locking mechanism includes a linear spring and a pin, the linear spring and the pin are supported along the first arm of the body, the linear spring biases the pin into the recess defined by the first arm of the body, and the second arm of the lever defines at least one notch releasably engageable with the pin in the recess. a body including a first arm and a first jaw (218, the first arm defining a recess; a lever including a second arm and a second jaw, the lever rotatably coupled to the body; at least one torsion spring coupled to the body and the lever; and a locking mechanism carried along the body, wherein the first arm and the second arm are rotatable toward one another, against a resistance force of the at least one torsion spring, from an open state to a closed state to form a handle, and in the closed state, the first jaw and the second jaw are clamped to one another, collectively forming a fork distal to the handle, the second arm of the lever is releasably securable in the recess in the closed state in which the first arm of the body and the second arm of the lever form the handle, releasable securement of the second arm of the lever in the recess of the body resists rotation of the lever and the body relative to one another under force of the at least one torsion spring, and the fork includes a first prong and a second prong defining therebetween a gap along which a length of dental floss material is supportable in tension, the locking mechanism includes a linear spring and a pin, the linear spring and the pin are supported along the first arm of the body, the linear spring biases the pin into the recess defined by the first arm of the body, and the second arm of the lever defines at least one notch releasably engageable with the pin in the recess. the first arm and the second arm are rotatable toward one another, against a resistance force of the at least one torsion spring, from an open state to a closed state to form a handle, and in the closed state, the first jaw and the second jaw are clamped to one another, collectively forming a fork distal to the handle, the second arm of the lever is releasably securable in the recess in the closed state in which the first arm of the body and the second arm of the lever form the handle, releasable securement of the second arm of the lever in the recess of the body resists rotation of the lever and the body relative to one another under force of the at least one torsion spring, and the fork includes a first prong and a second prong defining therebetween a gap along which a length of dental floss material is supportable in tension, the locking mechanism includes a linear spring and a pin, the linear spring and the pin are supported along the first arm of the body, the linear spring biases the pin into the recess defined by the first arm of the body, and the second arm of the lever defines at least one notch releasably engageable with the pin in the recess.
