Best Answer

A handheld dental device for scaling teeth via ultrasound, during routine cleanings.

It shoots ultrasonic waves, and a water jet to clear away debris... It makes a high-pitched sound, which can remind people of the dreaded high-speed drill.

A Cavitron is a brand name for an ultrasonic scaler used by dental professionals to remove plaque and tartar from teeth. It works by emitting high-frequency vibrations to disrupt and remove deposits from the teeth surfaces.
