Dental fillings are some of the most common dental treatments. When you have a small cavity, a dental filling can replace tooth structure. Using a dental laser, your dentist can precisely remove the decayed potions of your tooth and the bacteria that cause these issues with a laser before setting your filling (or any number of dental restorations).
Gum disease becomes incredibly serious if left untreated. Gingivitis can develop into periodontitis, and irreversible condition. Your dentist can use dental lasers to perform scaling and root planing — a process that cleans beneath the surfaces of your gums.
Because of the precision that they give your dentist, dental lasers can make treatments safer and easier. Hopefully this can decrease some of the anxiety you may experience when you schedule dental appointments. You’ll experience less discomfort, a lower chance for infection, and a faster recovery time by using the right technology. That’s a win for everyone.
