The use of Laser Technology in Pediatric Dentistry

 

The commonly used process in Laser dentistry for treating a myriad of dental problems is drilling. We can agree that drilling has proved effective for decades, but the entire process is unbearably painful. Laser is a “device that stimulates atoms or molecules to emit light at particular wavelengths and amplifies that light. The emission generally covers an extremely limited range of visible, infrared, or ultraviolet wavelengths. It is also a less painful and efficient therapeutic strategy in pediatric dentistry. In fact, children are much more cooperative when Laser is used which in turn enhances effective treatment. Laser is applied in treating tooth decay, tooth hypersensitivity and gum diseases – both on the soft and hard tissue.

Thanks to giant strides in the world of dentistry, all around the globe, Laser technology has been endorsed as a preferred technique for treating dental conditions.
