Coronal Teeth Polishing: Applying Paste to Gums

Video Transcript

"Now once again the coronal polish should be performed by either a registered dental assistant, a dental hygienist, or a dentist. So what they do is they pull up the gum right here, once again you do the swipe from the middle to the top, swipe on the bottom and then there you go. And you make sure that you get the whole one tooth and then you go to the next. Up and down, up and down making sure your pinkie is still holding on to the one spot there. You are going tooth to tooth. Are you ok? And then every once in a while, you have to reach back, get a little bit more paste, do a little more swipe. Usually you can get about three teeth for every time you have to do a swipe there. There you go."
