Air Abrasion

If smaller areas of decay are found at your cleaning appointment, we offer air abrasion as a preventative measure to reduce the likelihood of future larger fillings. If you’re like most patients, you prefer to avoid drills or injections, and this treatment does just that. Air abrasion utilizes a small stream of air and abrasive particles, such as aluminum oxide or silicon, to remove the area of decay.
