Are you afraid of visiting the dentist?Does the thought fill you with dread or fear?

If you are a nervous patient who has had a bad experience in the past and not been to the dentist in years, there may still be some hope for you!

For some people, just the noise of the dental drill or the clinical smell of the dental surgery is enough to stop them from visiting a dentist. Fortunately though, dental procedures have changed a great deal in the last few years and there are many pain free and  drill free alternatives available.


What is drill free dentistry and who all can use it?

As the name suggests, drill free dentistry means carrying out dental procedures without the use of a drill. This kind of dentistry is usually offered by cosmetic dentists and it is an approved method which uses a laser to energise air and a spray of water. This energised spray can chip away at lesions and tooth decay, obtaining similar results to drilling but without the pain. Drill free dentistry can be used by both adults and children.

The advantages of using drill free dentistry

  • No drill pressure and vibrations or anaesthesia as it is pain free.
  • Eliminates discomfort in the jaw since it is a quick procedure and does not require patients to keep their mouths open for long.
  • More accurate as compared to the drill and can finish treatment within minutes rather than hours.
  • Nervous Patients are more comfortable with drill free dentistry and the risk of infection is reduced as well.
  • Drill free dentistry can be used to address dental caries and fillings and also to cure gum problems.
  • Additionally, it can also be used for other various other dental treatments such as healozone,root canal treatments, bleaching and whitening teeth and straightening teeth.

So don’t put off your visit to the dentist due to fear and dread.There may just be some solutions to your dental problems which could help you smile again.
