Would it be dangerous to try to clean one's own teeth with the dental scaling tools you can buy on Amazon?
 
omg! why would you want to do that?! i hate just seeing them things on a dentist tray! id never dream of buying those! :sick:
 
No, I'm a dentist and I can't manage to scale my own teeth and I know what I'm supposed to be doing. You won't do much harm, but it won't work.
Remember, I'm the kind of nutter who happily gives himself oral injections to try out new local anaesthetics!
 
You have injections for experimenting!!!!!!!!!Yikes, i cant even manage one at the dentist, they make my eyes water. Do you get paid for it or do you just love the shot lol
 
I don't see why I should ask my patients to have something done that I haven't tried myself, if at all possible.
