There could yet be hope for those who live in fear of getting a filling, as a new painless cavity drill is set to hit dentists' surgeries.

The hi-tech 'plasma brush' can hollow out rotten teeth in just 30 seconds, with only a slight cooling sensation for the patient.

It uses chemical reactions to disinfect cavities before operations, and forms a bond on the tooth which is much stronger than current techniques.

This means that fillings will much last longer than before, a huge boost for dentists and patients as currently many stay in place for just a few years.

Y'know what freaks me out? Those tribal people who file down their teeth. That freaks me out. I mean, it's not like they're doing that at the dentist office. They're probably rubbing rocks against their teeth or something.

Are you sure that's dentistry? I think that's prison, dude.

Why don't you guys have dental insurance? It's stupid cheap.

At the time I didn't think dental insurance was important but I learned the hard way. Wheres a good place to look? I'm a bit weary of the online stuff.

Don't you find it ironic that this is coming from England of all places?

From watching the video, I don't think this device is intended to replace the drill but merely as an adjunct to help create a better bond between tooth and restorative material.
