The sound of dental drills may seem harmless, but daily exposure poses a serious risk to dentists, dental hygienists, and assistants. Seeh provides custom-molded earplugs that dampen harmful noise without compromising your ability to hear your patients. Your staff can get fitted at a nearby Hans Anders store, and you can keep track of everything through our portal. It’s a hassle-free way to stay compliant with occupational health and safety regulations.
From the treatment chair to the front desk: the risk assessment requires a tailored solution for every role.
Dental drills produce a high-pitched, piercing sound of 80 to 90 dB(A), sometimes even higher. With multiple procedures per day, exposure adds up quickly—including for assistants who spend the entire day in the treatment room.
Custom-molded earplugs dampen the harmful noise of drills and other equipment while still allowing you to hear your patients and colleagues clearly. They remain comfortable throughout the entire workday, even when worn with a face mask.
During drilling, rinsing, and the use of air polishers, splashes and aerosols are released at eye level.
Certified prescription safety glasses protect the eyes during these types of procedures without compromising visual clarity.
Practice managers and receptionists spend hours at a time working with scheduling software and patient files. This can lead to eye strain, headaches, or even neck and back pain.
Prescription computer glasses are precisely calibrated to the viewing distance of screen work, ensuring your employees work comfortably and without strain.
Under Article 3 of the Working Conditions Act, employers are required to protect employees against risks to their hearing and eyes. This duty of care also applies in a dental practice, both for permanent staff and for you as the practice owner.
In your risk assessment and evaluation (RI&E), you determine the necessary protection for each role. Hearing protection must be available above 80 dB(A), and its use is mandatory above 85 dB(A). Dental drills consistently reach these thresholds during daily use.
Earplugs fall under EN 352-2. Eye protection falls under EN ISO 16321-1, the successor to EN 166. Only certified products qualify as protection.
All products comply with the new ISO 16321 standard and have CE marking.
With a few steps, you can easily order prescription safety glasses and otoplastics.

Research by NTVT (2025) shows that dental staff are at an increased risk of noise-induced hearing loss due to occupational exposure to noise-producing equipment.

Yes. Custom-made earplugs sit deep in the ear canal and barely protrude, making them easy to wear with a face mask or face shield. They are also equipped with a cord or mini-grip, allowing you to quickly insert and remove them between treatments.
Yes. Dental assistants, in particular, spend the entire day in the treatment room and are therefore exposed to drilling noise for longer than the dentist themselves. Custom-molded earplugs are individually fitted, so every employee receives the fit and filter that suits their specific role.
