Rubber Tip or Gum Stimulator
The rubber tip is also popularly known as a gum stimulator, the name is interchangeable. The rubber tip is a just that, a rubber tip sitting at the end of a long plastic or metal (gold) handle. This is a very convenient product to use. It’s a one-handed tool that can be utilized while being lazy or inactive in other activities such as watching TV, reading or using the computer. The rubber heads are disposable and replaceable, although they do last quite a while. After use, just rinse and let dry.
This dental device is used to maintain and reverse mild gum health. This tool’s other specialty is of the fine pointed rubber tip which works supremely at the margin of a crown or filling and at the gum line. Not only are those areas a magnet for plaque to collect, but it’s where decay starts on a crowned tooth. The small strip of tooth exposed between the crown and the gum line is at a higher risk for decay, mainly because it’s hard to clean. The rubber tip gets just under the gum line and right at the edge of the crown like no other.
Proper use which is described on the packaging will provide best results. Just trace the gums with it and move it back and forth to stir up the plaque so it doesn’t settle at the crown margin or gum line and wreak havoc. An added benefit is dipping the rubber head into a mouthwash for an anti-bacterial perk.
