Drill-less Dentistry

When new dental cavities are discovered early, as with laser diagnostics, they can often be filled without the use of the dental drill and without the use of anesthetic(novacaine). We can accomplish this with an air abrasion unit. Think of it as a high-tech sand blaster. The wand of the air abrasion unit directs a stream of ultra-fine aluminum oxide particles at the spot of decay. This particle stream painlessly dissolves the decay and readies the tooth for restoration.
