Love all the videos so far. Thank you for your work on these. They're very valuable. The only suggestion I have is that the music is a bit loud and distracting sometimes; and because it's on a loop, it can be a bit much. Again, thanks for putting these together. Looking forward to seeing more of them. Cheers.
Can we get a video to see the upper body? How your sitting, where your arm is positioned while you're working, a broader view of your wrist roll, etc..
Hi, when using the H6/H7 scaler I notice there are two sides with a slight bend to them. What is the proper way to use this? Do you direct the bended shank towards the tooth surface to remove calculus? Thanks!
Love these videos!! Do you have an opinion on sharpen free instruments? Do you think they are better or worse than the traditional instruments you have to sharpen? Maybe make a video on this topic🤷♀️
In school, my instructor taught us to only use 1-3mm strokes, is it wrong to use so many quick and long strokes the way you are demonstrating in this video?
oaht eedak I agree with your instructors. I recommend using 1-3 mm strokes at a time. Most of the strokes I do are around 3 mm. It’s hard to see in the video. Use slow strokes when your starting out. The reason they say this is so you can relax your grasp after the stroke. As you get more advanced you can do quicker stokes and still relax after the stroke. Watch your instructors scale calculus on a patient. You will see them use quicker strokes instead of slow strokes.
I would like to see a Dental Hygienist show how to remove her own tartar. This is done by herself using a mirror and a sickle scaler. Millions of people cannot access a dentist or Hygienist. Moreover, at what rate of psi does a Cavitron power up to before it starts to effectively remove tartar? Waterpiks operate at a maximum of 100psi. This is ineffective at removing tartar. (UK)
It is not safe for people to remove their own calculus without having gone through the years of training and education about anatomy, morphology, and much more. People can permanently damage their own teeth/gums and potentially create infections and other issues if they are trying to use scalers to remove calculus. I totally understand not having access to a dentist/hygienist, and the best thing to do is to prevent calculus from forming by removing plaque everyday on your teeth and in between your gums before it hardens into calculus. If you already have calculus, you can try to a visit a dental hygiene school for treatment where they are likely to do your cleaning for free or very cheap. Best wishes.
@@nareneau ... A Question, Natasha: Are there countries or societies that do NOT have tartar or calculus on their teeth? Is it mainly a western country affliction? I floss, I TePe brush, I use mouthwash - I do all this after every meal, yet, tartar accumulates mainly on.my lower-interior front teeth. I would purchase a Cavitron for a Dental Hygienist if they come to my home every 3-months to deep clean my teeth. Nature has failed to provide a method on keeping teeth super-clean.
@@bertiepimplebum5633 Hi Bertie, thank you for your question. Everyone in the world has plaque in their mouth that can accumulate and harden into tartar. The rate at which tartar builds up is different for every person, but everyone is effected to some degree. It sounds like you are putting a lot of effort to have good oral hygiene and care for your teeth, which is great. It is very common to get tartar on the lower front teeth because we have two major salivary glands that deposit saliva in the floor of our mouth and gravity holds it against the teeth in that area. Make sure you are using mouthwash before brushing your teeth to avoid washing the toothpaste away and thus reducing the time the active ingredients like fluoride in the toothpaste have to benefit your teeth. Thorough flossing and brushing daily should do a pretty good job of keeping teeth clean, but it is true that every mouth is different and sometimes it is difficult to get every nook and cranny 100% plaque-free.

Hello Paulo, I'm so glad you liked the video. Thank you for your suggestion. I love feedback!
The most beautiful hygienist..
Can we get a video to see the upper body? How your sitting, where your arm is positioned while you're working, a broader view of your wrist roll, etc..
That’s what I need and all videos are missing 😭
It was really informative for practical purpose .....please keep making more such videos teaching actual clinical procedures 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What did you use for the mock tartar?
This is so satisfying!!!
This is a very nice demontration ❤️
Hi, when using the H6/H7 scaler I notice there are two sides with a slight bend to them. What is the proper way to use this? Do you direct the bended shank towards the tooth surface to remove calculus? Thanks!
I was taught that the scaler bends away from the tooth surface, but it appears she is doing the opposite so now I am confused

Hi!! I love your videos!! Do you have videos about probe instrumentation
is it possible to upload a video of using an Explorer 11/12 on braces?
Nice tutorial
Thanks
You really did a great job those were in bad shape

What do you use to make calculus??
I have a video called How to Put Fake Calculus on a Typodont. Just go to my video list and you will see it.
This was so helpful! Can you do a video for the molars?
Thank you for the video but it will better if you do the demo in a real patient😊
this would make great ASMR without the voiceover and music
