Results for tag: "Minimally Invasive Dentistry"

Minimally invasive dentistry (MID) is a dental practice that focuses on preserving as much of the natural tooth structure as possible. It is a preventive approach to dental care that seeks to reduce the need for more invasive treatments such as root canals and crowns. MID utilizes advanced technology such as digital imaging, lasers, and air abrasion to diagnose and treat dental issues. This technology allows dentists to detect and treat problems earlier, reducing the need for more invasive treatments. MID also emphasizes preventive care, such as regular cleanings and fluoride treatments, to reduce the risk of cavities and other dental issues. MID is becoming increasingly popular among dentists and patients alike due to its focus on preserving natural tooth structure and its emphasis on preventive care. It is also seen as a more cost-effective approach to dental care, as it reduces the need for more expensive treatments. Some companies in the MID market include Biolase, Carestream Dental, Dentsply Sirona, and Henry Schein. Show Less Read more
