Abstract
An applicator device for applying a dental compound to the surface of a tooth and its root. The applicator has an elongated handle formable or bendable to hold a desired shape. A shield extends from an end of the handle. The shield is shaped to facilitate application of the compound to the tooth surface. A thin, absorbent pad is affixed to a concave side of the shield. The pad is sufficiently thin that compound on the pad can be applied to the tooth and root surfaces without introducing the compound into the gingival margin.
