What Is Laser Dentistry and How Does It Work?
 

Advancements in laser dentistry have opened the door for new and improved dental treatments that are designed to treat periodontal disease. Introducing lasers into the dental industry has had such a major impact because of the fact that it allows the dentist to be more thorough and precise with their treatment and during the procedure. Also, because utilizing lasers in a dental procedure is minimally invasive this means there will be less time needed for a patient to heal after the surgery is performed.

Is Laser Dentistry Safe?
One of the top concerns that patients have when it comes to laser dentistry is whether or not the laser dentistry procedure is safe.  The answer to this question is that laser dentistry is just as safe as any other dental procedure. In addition, safety precautions are taken during the laser procedure as well. One of these precautions includes having the patient and the doctor wear protective eyewear because a laser is being used during the procedure. Also, in addition to being safe laser treatment is minimally invasive.
