When deciding which hygiene handpiece to invest in, it’s critical to pick an option that’s ergonomic and lightweight for the hygienist as well as comfortable for the patient. This tool is an integral part of the hygiene appointment and is put to use multiple times a day, so investing in a handpiece that doesn’t meet those requirements will lead to frustration and discomfort. Air-driven and electric models are available, as well as cordless.
