These labor saving devices came to us in the early 1970’s.  They enable is to remove heavy tartar from teeth which get almost no dental care.  Teeth which never see a toothbrush.

 We can make teeth like these totally clean in the space of 30 minutes.  Without these the hands of a poor dental hygienist would look like the hands of a railroad spike driver after only 5 years.

 If you come to see a dentist regularly you won’t ever have to use this technology at your cleaning appointments.
