My dentist gives me these tools when I leave his office(flossing apparatice, gum stimular, toothbrushes, etc.)...my dentist is fantastic, gentle, and so caring. He totally cured my fear of a dentist's office, since a child(68 yrs old now)

Ihad my91 yr old mother go to him and she said "that "boy" did such a good job, I gave him a $5.00 TIP! roflmao(we still laugh over that one!)

You don't want to go very deep under the gums. Just a millimeter or so. Think of dipping down first, and then gently scooping away the plaque as you go from front to back. The other way to use this is to put the point gently between the base of two teeth and then massaging in a circular motion. Only do this where the rubber tip fits easily. This will help to stimulate blood flow in the area. (I'm an RDH.)

sorry to say, but dentists don't know how toclean teeth. how many times i had to rescale hard calculus deep under the gum because the dentist failed to remove it.

do you go against the gumline or actually into the gums?

Doesn't this technique just pushes down the plaque further down into the gums?
