Dental Polishing Strip With Threading Tail

A dental polishing tool for use in dental procedures. The polishing tool comprises an elongate polishing strip having an abrading surface. The polishing strip has a leading end and a trailing end. Extending from the leading end of the polishing strip, is a thin, flexible tail which comprises a flexible portion and a rigid tip at the end of the tail. The tail is designed to be inserted into a gap between two adjacent teeth. This tail facilitates positioning of the polishing strip into a position between the teeth. The tail is pulled through to draw the polishing strip into a position between the teeth. The user could then apply the polishing strip against the tooth in a conventional manner.
