Recent research has shown that lasers treat and heal various health conditions, minimizing patient discomfort and downtime. Dental lasers are precise and are extremely safe and comfortable. Dental lasers are truly innovative and are extremely beneficial in treating many issues relating to teeth and gums. Dental lasers also quicken recovery time leaving patients with minimal discomfort after a procedure is done.
One of my favorite lasers to use is the DIAGNOdent. My dental hygiene team and myself use this laser in order to determine the density of your tooth enamel. The fluorescent laser makes an acoustic sound and numerical reading as it recognizes a cavity. The exam is quick and pain-free and detects cavities at their earliest stages. When cavities are detected early, they can be treated painlessly and without the use of a drill.
Once early cavities are detected, I remove the decay with Waterlase technology. The Waterlase laser utilizes precise laser energy along with a spray of water to remove tooth decay. I also use the Waterlase technology to “numb” the tooth if needed, thus no shots are required! For example: last week I detected early decay using the Diagnodent laser and used the Waterlase laser to remove the decay in one of my youngest patients who is an active 3 year-old little boy. Whether young or old, the Waterlase laser makes sitting in the dental chair enjoyable and efficient.
