[Boatanchors] Dental Picks

[Charlie , W5COV]

I have to agree with Dave , since I also live in Oklahoma , where this 
nightmare is still ongoing . DO NOT get one from a dentist . Your life 
and health is not worth the risk for saving a buck here on these 
particular items . Buy a new one even if it is a cheap one . I have some 
cheap ones I use fairly regularly . I bought them new and they seem to 
last forever . I have a couple that have to be in the 10 + year old 
range ......
