What is laser dentistry?

Recent advances in laser technology have allowed select dentists to offer laser treatment.  
A dental laser is a high-tech device that generates a highly concentrated beam of light, which
can be used to treat tooth decay, enamel and gum tissue.

Is it safe?

It has been shown that dental lasers are safe for both children and adults.  In addition,
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved several types of dental lasers
for use on adults and children.  Many of the lasers for dentistry are similar or identical
in design to other medical lasers that have been used successfully for years in the specialties
of Ophthalmology, Neurosurgery, Ear/Nose/Throat (ENT), and Dermatology.

Advantages of Laser Dentistry include:

Less Pain
Minimal Bleeding
Reduced risk of infection
Minimal or No Anesthesia
No noise (No drilling)
Faster Healing
A more sterilized environment (laser kills bacteria)
Treatment or canker sores

Is every procedure performed with the laser?

Though the laser is a great alternative to the traditional drill it is not appropriate for all procedures. It is frequently used in conjunction with conventional instruments.  
Please ask if the laser might play a role in your treatment.
