Tooth decay and the pain it brings is bad news indeed. And drilling your teeth to fix your decaying teeth and the pain it entails might be giving you nightmares. Of course it will.... But not till you find that there is a painless alternative called "Air Abrasion" that could replace traditional drilling technique used for decay removal.
A powdered fine spray of aluminum oxide is blown under pressure through a very small tip, directed at the decay. As the particles blast off the tooth's surface, they blast away decayed portions of the teeth and prepare the tooth for filling. A colored filling to match the color of the teeth is then used to fill up the treated tooth. This procedure is suitable in treating a small or medium sized cavity which can be done without anesthesia. There are other advantages of treating your teeth with this technique. The dentist would be able to work on multiple sites in the mouth during a single visit. This procedure reduces the risk of chipping of the tooth which can lead to premature restorative failures. Moreover, the technique does not generate any heat, sound, pressure or vibration.
Air abrasion is hence a painless, quick and simple way to bid your cavities goodbye. However it is advisable to use this technique during early stages of decay. The procedure does carry a heavy price tag in comparison to the painful drilling technique, specially if you were to get your teeth treated in the US or UK. But you could choose to travel to countries like India, Thailand Singapore or other such popular medical tourism hubs and get your tooth fixed for a surprisingly lower cost, with an A-class quality service as well!!
Air Abrasion is becoming increasingly popular in treating tooth decay and its painless property is a big relief to children or even adults who are apprehensive about many aspects of dental treatment. "Air Abrasion" technique thus brings many reasons to smile and flaunt your beautiful teeth.....
