Electric Handpieces
Dentists use small drills called handpieces to remove tooth decay. Following decay removal, a filling or crown can be placed over the tooth. There are basically two types of handpieces, air-driven and electric. Electric handpieces are much stronger than air-driven due to the fact that a motor is spinning the bur as opposed to air. This allows the doctor to remove decay at a faster pace. This will cut down on the time it takes to complete a procedure.
Both electric and air driven drill handpieces remove tooth decay rapidly. Unfortunately, dental drills have a lot of vibration. The patient's head feels the vibration and this is one of the major causes of discomfort.
