Different lasers for different uses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Food and Drug Administration has cleared more than 20 uses of lasers in dentistry. They are usually used in procedures that involve soft tissues in the mouth, such as eliminating tartar, and cutting and removing soft gum tissue, as well as treating oral ulcers, cold sores, periodontal disease and gum infections. Laser treatments produce less bleeding during and after surgical procedures, diminish discomfort and reduce swelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other types of lasers can be used on the hard tissues of teeth to help remove tooth decay, carry out root canal therapy and prepare cavities for fillings. Lasers designed for use on hard tissue may lessen the need for anesthesia and the chances of overheating a tooth\u2019s pulp and nerve. Lasers can also be used to whiten teeth and detect tooth decay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As with any treatment, before considering any type of dental laser therapy, speak with your dentist to determine if it\u2019s right for you. As the applications for dental lasers expand, patients will be able to undergo precision treatments that will minimize pain and recovery time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Healthy teeth and gums are our top priority here at Oakhurst Dental Arts LLC If you dread going to the dentist, your trepidation may soon lift.
