Finger rest reminder

Intraoral finger rest (fulcrum)
Preferably two teeth away from the surface you’re debriding – be safe & prevent sharps injury!!! – rest your finger on the stable tooth surface (occlusal/buccal/oral) – never rest your finger on soft, slippery surface such as gingiva, tongue, lips or cheek
