Opting for painless, drill free dentistry

Going to the dentist has always been a challenge for some people. The sight and sound of the drill is enough to put anyone off. Fortunately though, dental procedures have changed a great deal in the last few years and have not only become pain free, but also drill free.

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.
