Laser Treatments
Laser dentistry is a branch of dentistry that uses lasers to treat a variety of dental conditions, including tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer.
All lasers work by delivering energy in the form of light. When used for dental procedures, the laser acts as a cutting instrument or a vaporizer of the tissue that it comes in contact with. When used in teeth-whitening procedures, the laser acts as a heat source and enhances the effect of tooth-bleaching agents. Instead of needles and drills, laser dentistry uses Heat and light to treat Dental infections.
Lasers can also be used for cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening and gum contouring.
Lasers have several advantages over traditional dental tools, such as drills and scalpels. They are more precise, so they can be used to remove decay or tissue with less damage to surrounding tissue. Lasers also cause less pain and bleeding, and they can help to promote faster healing.
