Smarten Up and Sharpen Up Workshop
- Judy Bendit, RDH, BS
Why is it no one ever wants to sharpen hygiene instruments? But we want them to have that new, just “out of the package” feel? This workshop will demonstrate how easily and effectively you CAN sharpen scalers and curettes once you find the method that works best for you. Please join us for a relaxed, informal program that will highlight some of the latest and greatest guides, aides and devices that can help you to achieve sharp cutting edges on your instruments every time!
Learning Objectives:
1) Distinguish a dull cutting edge from a sharp edge.
2) Extend the life of your instruments by maintaining sharp blades with a minimal amount of grinding.
3) Select an appropriate sharpening method for your individual situation.
4) Identify the best time in your busy schedule to sharpen your instruments.
5) Enjoy working with sharp instruments again.
