The main benefits to patients are as follows:
Rubber dam isolation was invented in the US in the nineteenth century. It has been in constant use globally since.

For technical reasons, it is not always possible to place rubber dam but at Avenue Road Dental Practice we do so whenever possible. To find out more on this subject, contact Philip Lewis here, or simply call 01983 759567.
