The BBC's Jeremy Vine show has a piece coming up today on some kind
of DIY dentistry. I was fairly amazed at the idea though I haven't
heard the details yet.

Apparently it is possible to buy hygenists tools for home use. For
example, a web search brought up

These are dental scalers. Even being able to buy things like these is
a surprise. My hygenist once refused to do a certain piece of
cleaning work which was about removing clear cement from the surface
of a tooth, preferring to refer that part of the job to the dentist
so that he would take responsibility for distinguishing cement from
tooth material. So the idea of buying tools to 'scrape' your own
teeth is surprising, to say the least.

Anyone tried dental DIY? Anyone brave enough to consider it? Or is it
easier and safer, if approached responsibly, than one might imagine?

Not the usual DIY topic, eh!
