What is Laser Therapy Dentistry?
Lasers are primarily used to treat four main areas of dental treatment:
- Fillings
- Gum Disease
- Root Canals
- Teeth Whitening
1. Fillings
Lasers are often used in conjunction with a enamel filling. The laser will be first applied to remove any decayed tooth matter within the tooth itself and only then will the dental filling be applied.
2. Gum Disease
When used in the treatment of gum disease lasers will be applied to change the general shape of the gums, which may have become altered due to serious gum deterioration.
3. Root Canals
Lasers are also used to clean the mouth before root canal procedures. When used to remove mouth lesions the laser will be sparsely applied such that there is no damage done to anything but the sore under scrutiny and is most commonly applied to severe canker sores.
4. Teeth Whitening
While lasers are not what whiten the teeth itself they are still used in this procedure in much the same fashion as they are during a filling. When the dentist heat flashes a filling, it speeds up the drying process, in much the same vein, a laser will be used on a peroxide bleach solution to increase the rate at which it whitens the teeth.
