Air Abrasion
For certain small cavities, air abrasion can mean NO needles and NO drills. A high-powered stream of air and powder cleans decay from small cavities on the chewing surfaces of back teeth, allowing a white filling to be bonded in place. Because no drilling is involved, air abrasion is less painful than other methods of restoring a decayed tooth, reduces or eliminates the need for anesthesia, and leaves more healthy tooth structure intact.
Air abrasion is perfectly safe, and we go above and beyond to provide eye and mouth protectors to prevent irritation. A protective resin is applied to adjacent teeth and gums to protect areas of the mouth not being treated.
