Minimally-Invasive Care (MIC) is effective oral health care that’s less complex than what most people are used to. When people think of dental care, they most often imagine “traditional” dental procedures like drilling and filling cavities, root canals, pulling teeth, and getting dentures (or other dental prosthetics). These services are typically provided in a dentist’s office or an operating room. While these can be necessary procedures, less invasive care may be an available and effective alternative.
