Laser Dentistry

Laser dentistry is an effective way to perform many procedures on the teeth. Laser dentistry can be used to perform dental procedures more effectively, provided the dentist can control the power output and can also monitor the duration for which the tissues are exposed to the laser. This allows the treatment of a specified area without causing damage to the surrounding tissues. Laser dentistry is still not a wide-spread treatment and very few dentists are actually competent enough to perform this treatment. Laser dentistry provides precision treatment that entails minimum pain and also requires lesser recovery time.

Laser dentistry has a number of applications. It can help to treat canker sore and cold sore pain, gum disease, root canal infections, reduce or remove inflammation of the gums, gum reshaping, expose wisdom teeth, removing throat tissue that causes sleep apnea, regenerate damaged nerves and also removes benign oral tumors.
