There’s nothing quite like a dental check up or procedure to put the frightners on most people; an irrational fear of the dentist’s chair is such a common phobia that we all know someone who suffers from it. Ask anyone who has a fear of the dentist, and they’ll tell you that the main reason for that fear is the inevitable pain (as well we know, even the simplest of dental procedures can be uncomfortable, or even downright painful). Though it may seem unlikely, scientists say that they’ve come up with an invention that will make our trips to the dentist completely painless! It sounds like science fiction, but this technology is very real and it’s called the “plasma brush”. This is no kids electric toothbrush, this is an extremely advanced piece of dental equipment.
The plasma brush is a non-invasive and completely painless way of dealing with the all too common cavity. It can hollow out a tooth in 30 seconds flat. Better yet, it can do so without actually having to enter the tooth in any way. There are no drills required in the process either; all that is required is to place the plasma brush gently upon the tooth to be hollowed out. It doesn’t even use excessive heat; scientists promise that all patients will feel when the plasma brush is holowing out their tooth, is a slight cooling sensation.
At the heart of this amazing device is a piece of technology called the plasma torch, and it is this that drives the plasma brush. This torch operates at room temperature, and works by erradicating the bonds which form between plaque bacteria and your teeth. This superb discovery was developed during a project at the University of Missouri, a team of researchers in tamden with a medical technology company developed the device.
The brush is designed to do two things: firstly, it chemically removes the plaque around your teeth, and secondly, it creates the ideal conditions within your tooth for your new filling to stick.
The development of the plasma brush is continuing at full pace, and hopefully it will mean that dental phobia could be nothing but a bad memory.
