• preparing the teeth cleaning composition;
• filling a rubber cup attached by a prophylaxis angle to a low speed handpiece with the teeth cleaning composition;
• and
• stroking the rubber cup on at least one tooth in the anterior portion of the patient's mouth first toward the gum tissue to pack the gingival sulcus with the teeth cleaning composition and then away from the gum tissue, moving from the anterior teeth to the posterior teeth.
