I don't mind my dentist anymore after he got a laser drill. Infact I havent had a cavity in the past 3 years.

yea, it sends out little laser pulses which act as a drill. Best thing about it is it doesnt hurt one bit.

try one of these for fun!!


think i would rather the root canal/ implant over the extraction. Nice Xray photo though!!!

I was just whining cause my Novacaine was wearing off yesterday, i am actually quite thankful the tooth is now gone, no more shooting pain in my face/jaw, and finally after about a month i got a good nights sleep, and this morning i was able to chew my food and not cringe in pain every bite!!!!

Now that sounds awsome. So if they use the laser drill do you not have to have the novacaine shots?

I need to hit the dentist very soon, and I think I have one cavity that will need to be filled so I am on the lookout for a new dentist.

My doctor didn't give me any shots but then again my cavity wasn't that deep. All I felt was light taps on my tooth. If the cavity was deeper I would assume he might of given me novacaine because the deeper a tooth has to be drilled, the root becomes sensitive. I really don't know if thats true though, I'm just speculating.
