Saw an ad for it on Tik Tok and since then ads have been popping up on Facebook for it.

It's an at-home plaque remover to remove stains and plaque from teeth without having to go to the dentist. Looks like an electric toothbeush only with a little hook shaped thing on the end instead of a brush.

Under no illusions that it will be as good as the real deal but the reviews do look good. I've been conned with a few dud items on Tik Tok shop and don't fancy wasting another £35. But if this genuinely works that it would be a game changer for me.

So just wondering if anyone else has got one and if it worked for you?

Not a chance would risk damaging the enamel on my teeth but buying something with a hook shape on the end from TT.
It’s £65 for a hygienist scale and polish in our city. Daily flossing will then keep plaque at bay.

https://www.google.com/ I used to smoke and I used one of these for years and would recommend.

It costs much more than that at my dentist. I brush twice a day but I still have horrible plaque that won't come off from brushing alone. I don't want to do any damage obviously.

You can’t get rid of plaque by brushing.
It would be worth a one off scale and polish, getting advice from them on the best way to brush, then keep it from returning by using disclosing tablets and flossing.

I was buying whitening strips off the internet in desperation, ones that can’t legally be sold here!, I bit the bullet and saw a hygienist and I couldn’t believe the difference. With flossing every single night my teeth have remained looking good for over 9 months now.

To answer your question yes. Not for scraping the actual teeth but it's amazing and getting tartar out from between teeth

Dentist kit from Amazon, they're about £6 for four or five different tools.
