BENEFITS OF SHARPENING SERVICES
There are many sharpening devices out there. Every device requires the hand of an operator/clinician, whether it is the position of the stone or the instrument being sharpened. There is always room for error, and loss of the correct angulation decreases the life of the instrument and the effectiveness of activation during instrumentation. That is why utilizing sharpening services provides consistent accuracy in angulation and cutting edge of the instrument. Please refer to the link below, from RDH Magazine, which discusses in great detail the benefits of sharpening services.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU RECOMMEND SHARPENING?
Bi-weekly sharpening is best, but at a minimum, we suggest at least once a month. Most commonly it is found that after fifteen strokes/activations, your instrument is dull. This is why bi-weekly sharpening is ideal for clinician performance, patient comfort, and the life of the instrument.
WHY SHOULD YOU UTILIZE SHARPENING SERVICES?
It has been found that individual sharpening will vary greatly. With professional services, your ideal angulation will be guaranteed and maintained. Utilizing sharpening services will also give you more time to focus on scheduling, productivity, and patient care.
