The
dental pick is probably the one tool I couldn't live without. I use
it almost every time I sit down to make minis. It can be a wonderful
texturing tool for clay, a dotting tool when painting, it acts as a
very tiny extension to my index finger when holding things. I can use
it to help pick up things, to make holes and to just move stuff into
place.
The
dental pick in the photo is my favorite one and it is showing the
wear of time. I tried to scrap off as much of the paint and glue that
was on it before I took the picture. I like this shape the best
because it is the easiest for me to work with. I have a few that are
curved differently and although perfectly usable I find them to not
be as easy to use. The curve on this one is just right and the length
of the wire part is also perfect. The other ones I have are a bit
longer in this wire section.
The
best part of this tool is price, I have purchased all of the dental
picks I use at the dollar store as part of dental hygiene kits. These
kits usually include the pick, a toothbrush and sometimes other
tools. If you get the kit that has a dental mirror you have a bonus
and I'll talk about that wonderful (and useful) tool another day.
