Laser Dentistry
Laser Bacterial Reduction
Laser bacterial reduction is a dental treatment that uses a specialized dental laser to reduce the number of harmful bacteria in the mouth. This treatment is typically performed during a regular dental cleaning or periodontal therapy appointment.
The laser used in the treatment emits a focused beam of light that is directed at the gums and teeth. The energy from the laser helps to kill bacteria that can cause gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath. The laser also stimulates blood flow and the body's natural healing response, promoting healthier gums and teeth.
Laser bacterial reduction is a safe and painless procedure that can be completed quickly and easily in a dental office. It is especially useful for patients who are prone to gum disease, have a weakened immune system, or want to maintain optimal oral health. It is important to note that laser bacterial reduction is not a substitute for regular dental cleanings and exams, but rather a complementary treatment that can help improve overall oral health.
Canker Sores/ Cold Sores Treatment
Laser treatment for cold sores and canker sores is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a special dental laser to reduce the pain and speed up the healing process of these oral lesions.
Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus and typically appear on the lips or around the mouth, while canker sores are non-contagious and appear as painful ulcers on the inside of the mouth. Both conditions can cause discomfort, pain, and embarrassment.
During the laser treatment, the dentist uses a specialized dental laser to target the affected area. The laser energy helps to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and kill the virus or bacteria causing the lesion. The laser also stimulates blood flow and promotes the regeneration of healthy tissue.
Laser-assisted Periodontal Therapy
Laser assisted periodontal therapy, is a type of periodontal therapy that uses a dental laser to remove infected or damaged gum tissue and promote healing. The dental laser is a highly precise instrument that can effectively remove diseased tissue while minimizing damage to healthy tissue.
