Scaling
Why should izzo users scale their teeth?
Scaling can help to clean food debris and plaque from between teeth, along the surface, and above the gingival margin. The Scaler should be used in addition to daily brushing and flossing.
How should individuals use the Scaler?
The Scaler should only be used to remove visible food debris and/or plaque from between the teeth and at/above the gingival margin. The flat side of the Scaler can be used on the facial and lingual surfaces of the teeth as well. Users should apply gentle pressure and be careful not to insert the pointed tip below the gumline or around loose dental restorations.
