A cleaning tip extends longitudinally outwardly from the body's first end and a groove or a ridge is provided on an exterior surface of the peripheral wall. The groove or ridge is configured to engage a complementary ridge or groove on a cradle of a dental device into which the cartridge is loaded. A bore originates in an opening in the second end of the cartridge body and extends inwardly towards the first end thereof. A stack of identical flosser cartridges are loaded into the cradle one above the other. The first region and cleaning tip of a lower cartridge in the stack is received with the bore of an upper cartridge located immediately above the lower cartridge.
