Interesting , most of the high speed airrotor ( so called drill) works at a max speed of approx 400000 rpm( revolutions per minute )
Now in 2- 5 seconds at max speed and heavy force it has all the capability to drill quite deep into your tooth , but I don't wanna scare you ,,trust your dentist always as he or she has the power and the responsibility . And we don't need to drill so much if your tooth is fine,,,and if it requires deep drilling then we have to go more deep .
In all the cases don't worry much coz we all are trained to handle that machine effortlessly.
