The hygienist did his best, although he was only a student, and only managed to knock off the upper middle triangle. I brought avocado oil to keep my lips moisturized during the process. I had a fair amount of tartar (hardening bacteria) and some bleeding so I think I was definitely overdue. I requested not to have fluoride treatment or polishing gel in case of a potential allergy to the flavors, so they used a pumice-based polisher. I also requested to floss myself, that seems to be the new thing with dentists, showing you how to floss.
I found a toothbrush-length floss pick with disposable heads at a grocery store. It's hard to find non-flavored heads at the store but you can always order online. The model is called Access Flosser.
Peace,
C.S.
