Laser Dentistry - Know More About It!
What is laser dentistry?
Laser dentistry is the use of lasers to treat a number of different dental conditions.
Laser dentistry potentially offers a more comfortable treatment option for a number of dental procedures involving hard or soft tissue compared to drills and other non-laser tools.
Laser stands for “light amplification by the stimulated emission of radiation.” the instrument creates light energy in a very narrow and focused beam. This laser light produces a reaction when it hits tissue, allowing it to remove or shape the tissue.
Laser dentistry is used in a variety of procedures, including:
- Dental hypersensitivity
- Tooth decay
- Treating gum diseases
- Whitening teeth and many more
Lasers can make dental treatments more efficient, cost-effective, and comfortable. The food and drug administration (FDA) has approved laser dentistry as a treatment option for several dental conditions.
