Dental Air Abrasion

Dentistry Without Drills or Needles?

Can you imagine going to the dentist and never feeling a drill or suffering the pinch of that dreaded needle? One of the most remarkable advances in modern dentistry is called air abrasion. Unlike a traditional drill, this tool aims a stream of small particles and air at the region of decay and gently sprays it away! Many patients need little or no anesthesia for this procedure. The sound and vibrations of the drill have vanished – and so has most of the pain! For many procedures, it’s good-bye needles, good-bye drill!
