Ever wonder what this instrument is used for? 🦷

The answer is C. Extraction Forceps (Tooth Extractor).

Despite their appearance, extraction forceps aren't designed to simply "pull" a tooth. They're carefully designed to grip the tooth securely while your dentist gently loosens it from the surrounding bone and ligaments before removing it.

Different forceps are used for different teeth, helping make extractions as precise and efficient as possible.

Many people assume polishing is just about making your teeth look shiny, but there's more to it than that 👇

Polishing is an important part of your professional dental cleaning. During this step, your dental hygienist uses a special polishing paste to help remove surface stains from foods and drinks, along with any remaining plaque, leaving your teeth feeling smooth and refreshed.

One added benefit? Smooth tooth surfaces make it more difficult for plaque and bacteria to stick, helping you maintain a cleaner smile between visits.

While polishing isn't a substitute for brushing, flossing, or routine dental cleanings, it puts the finishing touch on your visit and leaves your smile looking and feeling its best.
