Video Transcript

"So now everything is all done, they've gotten all their brushing habits, and all the little techniques that need to be done. So actually you are all set. I'm all through. Thank you Kathy, that's great. Awe my pleasure, my pleasure. We're just going to put this back here. I can't wait to look at my mouth and look at my teeth in mirror. Ah yes don't dirty them up right away.Thank you so much. Thank you.Ok bye bye. Take care now. So now most of this stuff on the table here has to be thrown away. This needs to be thrown away, the floss the prophy paste.The only things that pretty much get reused again after they are cleaned of course, is the instruments and the alligator clip. So then you are going to put these aside, because you are going to be putting those in a sterilizer and the alligator clips you are going to wipe down. Everything else we are pretty much essentially going to be throwing out. And then you are going to throw out the top layer of paper so you can get this cleaned up. Another thing here, is on this instrument, this part comes out and this part can stay in. This can be pretty much wiped down with an alcohol base and this can be wiped down to. These tips right here get removed and they get cleaned as well. Another thing that you remove is this suction. This comes right out and then you throw that away and then the rest of it gets removed. Put that right back there. So believe it or not these are removable items. And they just get tossed. So then after that you just pretty much run the instruments through the sterilizer, spray down the chair, go to the next person, start right back again. I hope you can learn a little bit about the coronal polishing. There is a lot to do about it and it's really important that you do your home care as well as go to your dentist at least twice a year. Sometimes you have to go more, just don't complain about it, you're just going to need to do it. And also a little home care never hurts. And remember don't forget do all the flossing there, it's real important. Thank you."
