Laser Dentistry

Definition

• Painless root canal may sound like an oxymoron,
  but new techniques are making it a reality for
  many dental patients. One such technique involves
  avoiding the root canal altogether by sealing the
  exposed nerve with newly developed adhesives. The
  bacteria cause an infection, which eventually
  kills the nerves.

What can be done with laser dentistry?

• Dentists use lasers in a variety of procedures
  involving the inside of the mouth, be it to
  remove overgrown tissue, to reshape the gums.
  Sometimes, laser dentistry is ideal for children
  who become anxious or afraid when
  having dental work done.

Is laser treatment safe for teeth?

• When laser light comes in contact with tissue, it
  causes a reaction. Yes, lasers have been used in
  dentistry since 1990. Lasers can be used as
  a safe and effective treatment for a wide range
  of dental procedures and are often used include
  with other dental instruments.

Does it hurt? 

•  Most patients find laser procedures remarkably
  comfortable, so comfortable in fact that in many
  cases no numbing is required. The dental
  laser often eliminates the unpleasant consequence
  associated with many dental procedures soreness,
  bleeding, inflammation, sutures, and numbness.

Does laser dental work?

• Lasers can detect cavities early by finding
  evidence of tooth decay. Tooth preparations
  and dental fillings. Local anesthesia and
  traditional drills are often not needed
  with laser treatments. Lasers can kill bacteria
  in a cavity, which can aid in the long-term
  health of a tooth.
