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.

Hope this gains some traction. I wonder if it would make a dentist's visit more expensive though? :hmmm:

They could make it a choice I would be willing to pay more for that service (even though it looks like it would take less of dentist's time and be easier to perform).
and the use of this tool will cost about $50 g's

If fillings no longer need to be replaced this will be like the 70 mpg carburetor. They're going to find the inventor weighted down in a lake somewhere with no teeth.

Fillings are a piece of cake. Where's the root canal and prep for a crown answer?

It turns out that you don't even have to hold your mouth open. They can enter through your rectum.

It's already so overpriced you'd have to be retarded to get any major dental work in the states.
Fuck man, I got 3 crowns in mexico. It cost me about 1/5 of what it costs me here. The dentist and his office were also superior.
In the states = almost 6,000 dollars.
In Mexico = 2,000 dollars (that includes Hotel and plane ticket)

A number of my fillings have turned into infections. Fuck them.

Bad dentist bud.
My first dentist did 3 fillings that get infected less than a year after. He dug too deep and put the filling right on the pulp. That stupid bastard cost me 7 thousand dollars because he was incompetent.
Luckily my current dentist is pretty freaking awesome. He's never made things worse.

Ugh I spent just as much on root canals last year as I did on tuition (no dental insurance).

Yeah, and if you don't get a crown on him they'll break or rupture or whatever.
Crown 'em and they'll be fine.

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.

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.
