Fear the Dentist No Longer: Drill-Free Laser Dentistry

Dental lasers are tools that produce an intense beam of light which can be used on human tissue. Lasers can be very precise, allowing for quick, safe dental procedures that help reduce anxiety and pain for many patients. The advantage of this type of tool is that it reduces the need for a dentist to drill in a patient's mouth. It also controls bleeding, reduces the need for anesthetic injection, and allows for a quicker recovery time.

Used in dentistry since 1990, dental lasers are an effective method for several types of procedures. These include the treatment of infections in root canals, removing and reshaping gums and soft tissue, exposing wisdom teeth that have partially erupted, and even taking biopsy samples.
