I’ve noticed that different hygienists have various preferences when it comes to tools for plaque removal during cleanings. I find that using an ultrasonic scaler not only speeds up the process but also enhances patient comfort. What tools do you find most effective in your practice?
Ultrasonic scalers are definitely a game changer, but I still love the precision of hand scalers for tricky spots. It’s like using a fine brush versus a roller when painting — both have their strengths! What do you think works better for deeper pockets, @lindsey_j87?
