Q. What should I know abaout early detection and treatment?
A. At the slightest hint of tooth decay, your dentist will put a "caries detection dye" on the suspicious tooth. This colored liquid help identify the position and extent of decay - even that not visible to the naked eye. Your dentist then can take care of the problem - usually in less than 10 minutes.
Q. Why is air abrasion better than the old drill?
A. The air abrasion device that we use instead of the drill is the KREATIV System. Its technology eliminates the odors, noise, vibration, micro-cracks and, in most cases, the shot associated with the drill.
Q. If my dentist detects tooth decay can it be treated immediately?
A. Immediately and minimally. We're talking about decay here, tooth rot! Why wait for it to spread, wait for the cavity to get bigger? Your dentist can take care of it today, giving you healthier teeth before you leave the office.
Q. Once Air Abrasion removes the decay, how is the cavity filled?
A. This is the beautiful part - literally! Your dentist will fill that cavity with a nearly invisible, non-mercury filling, making the entire tooth strong, long lasting and resistant to decay.
