👉 A dental weapon, also known as a dental scaler or dental scalpel, is a specialized tool used by dentists to remove plaque, tartar, and stains from teeth surfaces. It features a sharp blade attached to a handle, allowing for precise control and maneuverability during procedures like cleaning between teeth, smoothing tooth surfaces, or preparing teeth for fillings and crowns. Unlike traditional scalpels, dental weapons are designed with a smaller, more flexible tip to navigate the intricate spaces between teeth and along the gumline without causing damage.
