Laser dentistry is a great alternative for anaesthesia & drill procedures. Lasers will give you great relief from the bacteria present in the cavity. Killing such bacteria will provide a great relief from further decay or damage to your mouth. The laser in dentistry adds quality to the existing treatment by making it quick, painless, minimally invasive, and bloodless. In addition to that, post-treatment healing is also faster than traditional treatment.
Laser is also useful in Photodynamic therapy (PDT) which involves the use of a photosensitizer with a laser in presence of oxygen. With PDT we can treat oral cancer, bacterial and fungal infection, etc.
Here are a few reasons why laser dentistry is best?
- Remove unwanted bacteria
- Reshape the gums
- Rapid pain relief with no side effect
- Alzheimer’s
- Immediate repair of superficial injuries, such as wounds and ulcers
Laser dental treatment has been used in numerous dental procedures like:
- Treating Gum Diseases
- Treats Hypersensitivity
- Tooth decay
