A futuristic “plasma jet” that eradicates tooth decay without fillings could be replacing the dentist’s drill in as little as three years, it has been claimed. The space-age device fires a beam of electrically-charged oxygen atoms into tooth cavities to obliterate decay-causing bacteria.  A new study has shown that firing low-temperature plasma beams at dentine – the fibrous tooth structure below the enamel – can reduce bacteria levels without actually drilling the tooth.

Those looking to get the sparkle back in their smile can have a consultation with specialist cosmetic dental surgeons at The Hospital Group, one of the leading cosmetic surgery providers in the UK.  Friendly and professional consultants can talk through a range of options for those looking to achieve that perfect smile.  

The Hospital Group offer a range of dental treatments, with teeth whitening, pain-free veneers, white fillings and porcelain crowns being just a few of the popular treatments available at specialist clinics located throughout the UK.
