Did you know people have been getting their teeth drilled for over 9,000 years? I did not– and can’t even imagine how that was accomplished and what those patients went through… Luckily, technology has evolved over time and getting a cavity filled can be virtually pain free.
We hear time and again from our patients that it’s not just the physical discomfort, but also the sounds that are disconcerting. Especially for our more anxious patients.
Here, your McLean dentist, Dr. Mary Gharagozloo, is proud to offer Air Abrasion—an alternative to “the drill”.
How does it work? A powerful air stream of tiny aluminum oxide particles bounces off your tooth, removing decay. No vibration, no pressure, a reduced need for anesthesia—if any.
Call your favorite McLean dentist, Dr. G, and ask for additional information. Your comfort and overall health is our primary concern
