AIR ABRASION
Air abrasion is a drill-less and more gentle approach to remove decay from the teeth. An air abrasion unit is a small instrument that blasts a fine stream of air and particles onto the teeth to spray away decay. The small particles are made of silica, aluminum oxide, or baking soda and aid in cleaning the tooth surface. Air abrasion allows decay to quickly be removed while conserving healthy tooth structure. The particles and decay are then suctioned out of the mouth.
Air abrasion is gentle because it generates no heat, sound, pressure, or vibration. In addition, it reduces the need for anesthesia, making it an ideal choice for children and those who experience dental anxiety.
AUTOMATED APPOINTMENT REMINDERS
Society has made so many advances in communication in recent years—why not utilize that for appointment reminders? As dental offices go digital, reminders can go beyond the written cards or personal phone calls that are prone to human error. Systems are becoming computerized and automated, providing patients timely reminders through email and sometimes text messaging.
Ask our staff at the front desk about the options we provide to set up a reminder system that is most convenient for you.
CAVITY DETECTION TECHNOLOGY
While dentists are trained to detect cavities in various ways, poking and prodding–even x-rays–don’t catch everything.
Using traditional methods, diagnosing cavities in the back of the mouth is difficult; studies even show that 50% of cavities are left undetected in these areas. However, today’s technologies enable the location of these cavities to put a stop to decay further.
DIAGNOdent is one of the more popular technologies, utilizing lasers for detection. Others use LED fluorescence or a special attachment to intraoral cameras for a closer look. All of these are completely safe, and they enhance the dentist’s ability to find cavities (also called caries). Better accuracy for better treatment plans–it’s devices like these that help us detect and treat cavities before they become a real problem.
Feel free to ask us about the technologies we use for diagnosis.
