Laser Dentistry – Applications and Benefits
The energy emitted by a laser and the time of exposure can be controlled by a dental professional. Controlling these two factors, dentists can bring about marvelous changes in the oral cavity. Lasers are used to target both hard and soft tissues (such as tooth, bone and gums). Lasers can be used for tongue ties, reduce treatment time for dentofacial orthodontics, accelerate healing, modify the gums or bone around teeth and help treat gums and decayed teeth. Following are some of the advantages of laser technology:
- Cause less pain
- Reduce infections post operatively
- Reduce bleeding since the energy of the light beam can enable quick clotting of blood vessels
- Kill bacteria
- Accelerate healing
- Precise
- Open the door to new treatments
