Default DIY dentistry...!

On 20 Apr 2015, "James Harris" grunted:

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

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B008URJGTG

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.


I don't think availability of an item on Amazon constitutes an invitatin to
DIY... how about trying a set of bone chisels?

Or an abdominal retractor?
