Silent Noise Free Dentistry – Quiet Dental Drilling

Wouldn’t it be great to be able to experience noise free dental drilling?

Patients terrified by the whirring sound of the dentist’s drill could benefit from a new gadget that cancels it out.

In holistic dentistry, we are always looking for ways to improve the dental experience for our patients.

We want you to have a pain free and pleasant visit.

There have been many advances in dentistry claiming to be the end of the dental drill for good, like air abrasion and laser drills.

Unfortunately, you won’t find those devices here at Evolve in Kenmore because they simply don’t cut it when it comes to removing amalgam safely.

But what if we could drill silently?

Scientists say they have come up with a device which not only filters out the sound of the dental drill but allows people to listen to their own music too.

The gadget contains a microphone and a chip which analyses the incoming sound wave and then produces an inverted wave to cancel out the unwanted noise.

Patients hook up their MP3 player to the device, then plug their headphones into the gadget.

They can still hear the dentist talking to them, as the device locks on to the sound waves from the drill only, removing them even if the pitch changes as it penetrates into teeth.

As many people are put off going to the dentist because of anxiety associated with the noise of the dentist’s drill this device has the potential to make fear of the drill a thing of the past.

This gadget would be fairly cost-effective for dentists to buy, and any patient with an MP3 player would be able to benefit from it, at no extra cost The scientists from London are now seeking funding from an investor to develop the product further, to enable them to bring this device to as many dental surgeries as possible, and help people whose fear of visiting the dentist stops them from seeking the oral health care they need.

A noise free dental drill

I feel this would be a fantastic innovation allowing patients to be much more at ease during their dental procedures. Now, all we need is a device that removes the sensation of the drill as it vibrates against the tooth and they wouldn’t even know I was in there!
