Cavities in-between teeth

Hello, I have a question about filling cavities in-between teeth. My dentist told me that she will need to remove some of the healthy tooth in order to get to the cavity and fill it. I wonder if there are any new techniques for dealing with this.
I've read about the Air Abrasion method. Seems very nice, but not sure if it's applicable to Interproximal Cavities. My dentist does not yet use this method.
I wonder if I should speak to a dentist that uses Air Abrasion, or some other new method of dealing with these types of cavities,
or just go ahead and drill away at the tooth.
Thanks in advance.

There is no way to clean a cavity between back teeth without drilling from above. Air abrasion, laser, drill...whatever, it's just another way to do the same thing.
