In one aspect of the present invention a single use dental floss dispenser comprises a tri-fold assembly having a base portion and first and second covering portions. The first and second covering portions are foldably attached to the base portion along respective first and second folds. The first and second covering portions are foldable onto the base portion to define an enclosure having an interior. A predetermined length of dental floss is contained within the interior of the enclosure. The length of dental floss has opposed first and second ends. At least the first end of the length of dental floss is attached to an interior surface of the first covering portion. An unfolding motion of the first covering portion from a folded position, wherein the first covering portion is folded onto the base portion, to an unfolded position, draws a predetermined grippable portion of the length of dental floss from the enclosure interior to facilitate the complete removal of the length of dental floss from the enclosure interior.
