Why Sharpen Your Instruments?
It is important for dental hygiene instruments to be sharpened often to allow the hygienist to ergonomically remove calculus at minimal discomfort to the patient. The frequency at which the hygiene instruments are sharpened depends on how often they are used. Generally, it is best to sharpen them every 3-4 months. Having sharp hygiene instruments in your office will increase longevity and productivity of both the instruments and your hygiene team.
As few as 15 to 45 scaling strokes can dull a dental instrument. The longer between sharpening sessions can also cause those instruments to change shape requiring a coarser stone to be used to reshape them. By consistently sharpening instruments, finer stones are used and the life expectancy of the instrument is extended and performance is greatly improved.
Sharper instruments mean more efficient cleanings, less hand fatigue, and greater patient comfort. It’s a Win-Win-Win!!!
