Watch a CAESY video about Air Abrasion
Until recently, using the traditional dental handpiece was the only way we had to remove decay from your teeth. But now, we have a new option called air abrasion that allows us to remove decay on teeth without even touching them!
Air abrasion is a process in which a special handpiece removes decay by propelling a stream of clean dry air mixed with tiny abrasive particles on the surface of the tooth. It is most effectively used for removal of small discolorations and stains, and repair of
replacement of small fillings. It can be used to expose hidden cavities, which we can then remove and restore with a filling material.
