Using the prophy paste is great, the flavor is great, and is easy to use. My only 2 gripes about this is how annoying they can be to open and when rinsing it off, it leaves a white border along the gingival margin which is difficult to get off even when rinsing with water and air together. Elaborating on the opening, for about 1/3-1/2 of the cups the score at the tab is very shallow so I try to bend it a little, which then tears the foil along the score and so you can't open it. After getting used to this, if I can't bend it, just poke it with an explorer and tear it from the top not even bothering to open it with the tab. Sounds minute, but is annoying when you're trying to get the patient out of the chair efficiently.
