No the drill's friction against a tooth (enamel) is not harmful. If this procedure was harmful then there wouldn't be these people who wear white scrubs and make a ton of money to see teeth all day,,,, you know they call them (Dentist!!!!). Just kidding... I like to have fun. but no harm is done... They would not allow this in dentistry if it were harmful to you, (95% of procedures are having to use a drill one way or another... Aunt Laura
