Cavity Treatment with Painless Air Abrasion - Latest Dental Information on VideoMD

Online, September 20, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Dental information about "cavities" is very important as it could be really very troublesome in the long run. Not only cavities can cause severe pain and discomfort but also they can turn into some or the other disease at a later point of time. In fact, cavity is a word that no one wants' to hear at the dentist's office. A cavity is a hole that develops when a tooth decays or breaks down. It can grow bigger and deeper over a period of time. If you have a cavity, it's important to get it repaired at priority as it may cause more harm and damage to the inside parts of your tooth.

The normal procedure of repairing the cavity includes careful examination of your teeth and X-rays. Normally, an anesthesia is given by the dentist and the rotted part of your tooth is removed with a special drill. The dentist then fills the hole in your tooth with a special material which is called a filling. The fillings could be of various types such as gold fillings, silver fillings, composite resigns, porcelain fillings and so on. Hence, dental information as regards cavity care and treatment is very important for patients.

The old procedure of cavity treatment is somewhat painful and at times causes discomfort. A new technology called air abrasion has been recently introduced. Air abrasion is a relatively newer, advanced technology that can be used for treating the cavities by eliminating the need for an anesthetic injection and the dental drill. Air abrasion works like a precise sandblaster, where tiny, harmless particles of aluminum oxide are propelled against the tooth, removing a cavity. Keeping oneself updated on dental information as regards newer technology and procedures could be of great help for people suffering from dental disorders.
