ABSTRACT:
A dental tool for personal oral hygiene includes a pen barrel shaped holder which carries a curved metal pick. The pick includes an arcuate zone ending at a tapered tip. A cap selectively covers the pick when the tool is not in use to simulate a writing implement. Opposite the tip, the pick includes a stem which is seated in the holder. The pick is formed of a stainless resilient metal alloy having a diameter in the order of one millimeter. The arcuate zone is employed to dislodge food or debris from pockets or interproximal spaces at both the mesial and distal areas of the oral cavity with the tip functioning as a probe. The convex surface of the arcuate zone is employed as a burnishing implement for the removal of soft plaque.
