Thanks for the feedback. This is a consumer product approved for sale, and it can be found at many major retail stores. The Sonic Pick is similar to Professional Dental Scalers and Explorers but with some differences that help make it safer for consumer use. The stainless steel that is used in the metal tip has a significantly lower shore hardness than professional tools, and is also softer than the enamel on the teeth. So when used as directed it is a very safe and effective product.

does this produce a sonic frequency or is just a motor vibrating on it?

@alboss13 Once again you are incorrect. As I said before buy one and see for yourself....no heat issues to deal with. Maybe you feel the same with the sonic and ultrasonic toothbrushes. Used dry they they must generate heat and should not be used in this fashion. If you feel this way you are again misinformed.

@alboss13 You have failed to read what is written and to whom. Please review the tread. You are the one giving a bad name to the profession, because of your ignorance of an understanding of what has been addressed in each of my posts. I sure know more than you but then you are too ignorant to understand that.

@spokdope You are WRONG. Please do a favor to your self and open your books if you don't want to lose your license. Being and RDH is not just scaling calculus. You give a bad name to all other Dental professionals by claiming to know things that you have no idea about

@spokdope You say there is no heat to cool !! Well since you are an experienced Hygienist you should know that a Sonic instrument vibrates and causes heat. The advertising of this product says :"The sonic pulses gently vibrate to remove stains" So it does vibrate and vibration causes heat.

@spokdope You said "WRONG" And you didnt explain why i was wrong so you watch your attitude not me. You have 20 years of experience? Well you need to review your updated RDH registrants book. I am not here to educate ignorant, irresponsible people that hold a license but are not dental professionals, but i will say this to prove you wrong.

@alboss13 Wake up moron! Sentence #1: never said or implied any of your assumptions. #2: irrelevant, see #1. #3: OMG you are again assuming. There isn't any heat to cool, go buy & try one before condemning it. #4: I am & with 20yrs of experience. #5: Again assumptions. #6: Back at "cha. #7: I'm not advertising. Scientific evidence, OMG wake up; dentistry is fraught with so much dis-information it should disgust you. I hope the day you fall from your high horse comes soon.

@alboss13 "Assumptions allow the best in life to pass you by." - John Sales

You are assuming a significant amount of information. The Sonic Pick is designed like a anterior jacquette duh! I never said or implied subgingival or posterior scaling. My guess is that you are a dentist or on your way to becoming one. I wish you luck, either way you have shown yourself to be a self righteous, arrogant ass. Just what we don't need more of. Your insults are in line with these feeling. GFY

@DentekOralCare

When you say approved. Do you mean FDA? If so can you please submit the approval doc in the video description? Thnx

@spokdope This scaler is meant to work on anterior teeth supra and not sub. If you completed your education in North America you should know that there are at least 7 different instruments required to properly clean hard to reach areas. 3 for posteriors 2 universals and 2 for anteriors. This "Magic sonic " can only be used on supra and interproximally for anterior teeth. How about posteriors? Its ok in your opinion to encourage people in buying an OHT that lacks basic functions? Shame on you
