Rubber Dam Isolation

In the interest of hygiene and safety, most dental procedures are carried out using a technique known as rubber dam isolation. This technique is routinely used at Gentle Dentistry to carry out all restorative work and enables you to feel more comfortable during treatment.

The rubber dam is a sheet of latex placed in the mouth to form a barrier between you and your teeth, in effect isolating them. This means that you can swallow and breathe normally, and prevents you from ingesting mercury from old fillings.
