Is it better to use a larger or smaller tool?

Most females prefer the former rather than the latter.

It is fine when in the hands of a dentist who has a well-informed respect
for teeeth and gums. If you have have any exposed dentin, it is important
that you not let a hygienist in your mouth. Too often, a hygienist left to
her devices will not be able to differentiate dentin from staining and
tartar.

Demel tool and cutoff wheels?

Seriously, I've heard something about using Dremel tool for dentistry in
undeveloped countries.

.... Maybe they use underdeveloped Dremels? ;-)

These are much too big to do anything other than polish partial
dentures, and other lab work... unless there's a mini mini mini version
I don't know about...

There is a 'flexible shaft' model that the handpiece is connected
to the motor.

OK, I'm a struggling heating and AC guy from New York State. I also do
locksmithing.

Now, how can I tell if I've got Dentin in my mouth? How do I kn ow if I
should let a power assisted hygenist in my mouth?

Ask the hygienist to make sure the dentist examines you BEFORE she does
the cleaning. Voice your concerns.

But, FWIW, when it is ME doing the cleanings, I STILL clean any exposed
dentin with my scalers and then test for hypersensitivity. (Blow air)
This is treated with calcium based varsishes or resin based coverings.
Even though dentin (what you see when you're looking at exposed roots)
is delicate and potentially sensitive to cold and touch, it still needs
to be cleaned. Acids in plaque must be removed, or they will
demineralize it futher.

This is my own take on this, and there are others.

There are many pros here.

Very few ex-cons.
