What Is
Air Abrasion?
Air abrasion is a minimally invasive dental technique that gently removes decay using a specialized instrument, which sprays a fine stream of microscopic particles onto the tooth surface. Air abrasion does not require or use any drilling and is especially helpful for patients with dental anxiety, as it significantly reduces discomfort, noise, and vibration, often eliminating the need for anesthetic injections.

Air abrasion is used to treat several dental conditions, including:
-
Early-stage cavities and tooth decay
