Laser Dentistry

What is Laser Dentistry? 

Laser dentistry utilizes lasers to treat a variety of oral issues like cavities, gum disease, tooth sensitivity, and other dental conditions.

4 benefits of Laser Dentistry:

• • Rapid healing: Stitches are not likely to be used after laser treatment, this accelerates the healing process.
  • Averts Bacterial infection: Lasers sterilize the treatment area. This aids in preventing bacterial infections.
  • Minimizes Bleeding: The lasers have the capacity to clot exposed blood vessels. This puts a stop to blood loss.
  • Reduced Pain: As laser dentistry is not surgically inclined, pain on/around the treatment area would be minimal.

Types of Dental Lasers:

• • Hard Tissue Lasers: This type of laser is used for the teeth and it accurately cuts, cleans and shapes it.
  • Soft Tissue Lasers: The soft tissue laser is used on gums. It supports the shaping of gums and seals exposed blood vessels.

 4 popular conditions which can be treated through Laser Dentistry: 

• • Teeth Discolouration: A whitening solution is applied to the surface of your teeth and a laser light is used to activate the same. This facilitates teeth whitening.
  • Lesions: Lasers can be used to remove lesions, i.e., regions in your mouth which suffer from some damage.
  • Tooth Decay: Lasers support the removal of decay within your tooth/teeth to make way for enamel filling.
  • Gum disease: Lasers aid in reshaping your gums and averting bacterial infections.

Post-treatment care for Laser Dentistry: 

• • Maintain good oral hygiene.
  • Take the prescribed medications for as long as advised.
  • Pay a timely visit to the dentist for examination. 

Depending on the condition treated, you may be required to initiate further care upon the dentist’s advice.
