@themalehygienist: Explorer angulation doesn’t have to be confusing. One of the biggest mistakes I see from new hygiene students is focusing on the tip instead of the terminal shank.

What instrument guide should I make next? 👇 #dentalhygienist #dentalhygienestudent #dentalhygieneschool #dentalhygiene
