A dental drill, also known as a dental handpiece, is a handheld instrument used by dentists and dental professionals to drill and shape teeth or remove decay. The dental drill works by using a high-speed rotary cutting motion to remove material from the tooth. Dental drills come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and configurations, and can be powered by compressed air, electricity, or batteries. They typically have a small, pointed drill bit or bur that is attached to the end of the handpiece, and can be easily interchanged depending on the specific procedure. Dental drills are used in a variety of dental procedures, including fillings, crowns, and root canals. They are also used to remove old or damaged fillings, reshape teeth, and prepare teeth for other dental procedures. When using a dental drill, it is important for dental professionals to take proper safety precautions, such as wearing eye protection and gloves, and for patients to remain still and calm to avoid injury or discomfort. With proper use and maintenance, dental drills can provide precise and effective treatment for a variety of dental conditions.
