I use 3 different styles of blades in the back to achieve complete smoothing of all the cheek teeth. The last upper cheek tooth is often missed by dentists. Imagine buying the very best riding boots, but when you wear them a sharp pebble is left inside. It may become impossible to wear the boot. Same with floating. If one sharp point is left, even if the rest of the teeth are smooth, that sharp spot may distract the horse into unacceptable bit control.
