What is PAD™ and how does it work?
PAD™ high level
disinfection is one of the most important scientific advances in
dentistry for many years. In a very simple procedure, a special
liquid is applied to the decay and together with a special light,
kills all the bacteria on a tooth surface, in a cavity, in a root
canal, in infected gums and around infected implants
What are the benefits of PAD™?
-
Less tooth material
is removed, so if fillings are needed these are smaller, leaving a
strong, healthier tooth.
- Painfree
treatment
- No
side effects
- Drilling
is reduced (sometimes avoided altogether) and anaesthetic
may not be necessary.
- The
filling lasts longer because decay is less likely to recur.
- The
decayed part of the tooth can also recover (known as
remineralisation).
- Where
there is deep decay, the risk of exposing the nerve is reduced so
root canal work may not be necessary.
- Tooth
loss may be avoided.
- Gum
(periodontal) disease can be treated very effectively helping to
retain healthy teeth
- Especially
suitable for children and patients worried about dental treatment.
