Outline:
Sharpening dental hygiene instruments is such an important skill that we must master as dental hygienists. A skill that many struggle with. In this hands-on workshop you will learn how to achieve a sharp cutting edge every time with a quick and easy method!
Following the sharpening portion of this workshop, you will be introduced to a variety of new instruments.
