Air Abrasion Handpieces

Dental air abrasion handpieces are an effective and efficient tool used by dentists to remove areas of decay, prepare tooth surfaces for filling or bonding, and perform other dental procedures. These handpieces offer many advantages compared to traditional drills, as they don't cause the same amount of discomfort or vibration in the patient's mouth. 

Why Should You Use an Air Abrasion Handpiece? 

Air abrasion handpieces use a high-speed stream of air and fine particles to abrade away decayed tooth material. The air stream also has the good benefit of cooling and cleansing the area, reducing bacterial contamination. Air abrasion handpieces are especially beneficial for children, people with sensitive teeth or gag reflexes, and those who want more control over their treatment. They can be used for multiple procedures and provide faster treatment times, less noise, and minimized risk of damage to healthy tooth structure.
