Lasers were first introduced to dentistry in 1990 as a safe and effective treatment that helps with various dental procedures as well as other ordinary dental instruments.
Lasers are often used in many cases, for many different reasons. For example, lasers can:
-reduce the discomfort of canker and cold sores
-expose partially erupted wisdom teeth
-remove muscle attachments that limit proper movement
-manage gum tissue during impressions for crowns or other procedures
-remove overgrown tissues caused by certain medications
-perform biopsy procedures
-remove inflamed gum tissues and aid in the treatment of gum disease
-remove or reshape gum and bone tissues during crown lengthening procedures
-help treat infections in root canals
-speed up tooth whitening procedures
One reason why Laser Dentistry is becoming so popular is due to the benefits it provides. It often prevents the use of the drill or administer anesthesia, which results in a more relaxed dental experience for the patient, as well as providing a more precise result that leads to less symptoms and healing time with traditional therapies. Lasers also reduces the amount of bacteria in both diseased gum tissue and in tooth cavities and controls bleeding during surgery.
Lasers are just as safe as other dental instruments. However when your dentist performs a laser procedure you will be asked to wear special eye glasses to protect your eyes from the rays, just as you would sunglasses.
