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. 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. 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. 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.
