Air abrasion is a modern dental technique used to remove cavities without a traditional drill. It uses a tiny sandblasting tool to gently clean the decayed part of a tooth. This method is less noisy, less uncomfortable, and can make your dental visit more pleasant. Learn about air abrasion at Dentistry in the Valley in Renfrew.
The dentist uses a small instrument that sprays fine particles, usually silica, aluminum oxide, or baking soda, onto the decayed area. The particles gently remove decay while leaving healthy tooth structure intact. Suction removes the debris, making the process clean, precise, and virtually painless.
Your safety is our priority. Protective eyewear is worn to shield your eyes from stray particles. Sometimes a rubber dam is used to protect gums and nearby teeth. These measures ensure your comfort and safety during the procedure.
