What do you use for those people that can't sit through a prophy without discomfort? I use viscous lidocaine, but apparently the manufacture has discontinued that. Anyone have any other recommendations? For now I'm just rubbing topical over their gums but I find it an annoying process and would

Is anyone else having problems with Vitrebond from 3M? For the past few months every time we dispense it on to the mixing pad the white component gums up the dispensing hole and does not come out. It usually takes another 1-2 'clicks' to get it to come out smoothly, meanwhile every click pumps out

little white spots on my gums, but that's very temporary (like half an hour). I made the mistake of paying $100 at my dentist's office for these twice before checking Amazon. I won't make that mistake again So this is confirmation from a top amazon review of the product. Price is $52 on amazon

NOT give your HP any power... Just roll the bur along the edge below the gums pushing on the tooth and filling, perhaps with a small amount of unpowered up and down motion... Also, if it's breaking off with the band, you probably need to triturate it slightly longer for a faster set and/or let

for $70 that retails for $127 I suspect grey market. I'm sure Schein has a healthy mark-up, but I seriously doubt it's over 40%. The only way to make money with that much off is grey market.
