Author Cavitron use by laity?
Rip

2005-05-24, 8:51 am

Is a high level of skill required for use of Cavitron?

It appears to be (?) a fairly simple process when used on someone who
maintains good hygiene (no excessive tartar etc).

Can it only be purchased by dentists.

Are there many other preparatory steps like sterilization, etc which
would make it difficult to do at home?

Is the subsequent polishing very necessary.

Are there any similar products geared towards consumers.

Cute! ;-)

Just add the name "Dental" and make it "Harbor Freight Dental" and
watch the price for the same supplies go up 1000% !

I prefer to use a Phi**ps 19 inch VGA for intraoral work.
Provided the oral size allows for it ...

:-)
Well this was entertaining.

I read somewhere that a fair amount of dentists clean their own teeth.
True?
Anyone do it here?

to visit a friend).
