Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Why can't I feel any vibration when the device is turned on?
A: Ultrasonic frequencies (20,000Hz+) exceed human perception range of about 50Hz. The vibrations are only felt when the tool makes contact with teeth or saliva, as ultrasonic waves require solid or liquid mediums to propagate effectively.
Q2: Is it safe to use this device on sensitive teeth and gums?
A: Yes, the Soft mode is specifically designed for sensitive teeth and daily maintenance. The device includes gum protection features, but always start with the gentlest setting and avoid prolonged contact with gums.
Q3: How often should I use this ultrasonic scaler?
A: For maintenance, 2-3 times per week is typically sufficient. For heavy tartar buildup, daily use may be needed initially, then reduce to maintenance frequency. Always follow up with regular brushing and flossing.
Q4: Can this replace professional dental cleanings?
A: While effective for at-home maintenance, this device complements but doesn't replace professional dental care. Regular dental checkups and professional cleanings are still essential for optimal oral health.
Q5: What's the difference between the various tool attachments?
A: Each tool serves specific purposes: pointed tips for tartar removal, curved tips for gum line cleaning, flat tips for surface cleaning, and the mirror for inspection. Use the appropriate tool for different areas and cleaning needs.
