Lasers in Dentistry?!


Technology today is constantly changing and improving. When you go to get your teeth cleaned, many dentists now offer a laser treatment. I know what you are thinking:  lasers in your mouth sounds scary, but it's not. It is very beneficial.

After the hygienist is done cleaning your teeth, there is a soupy mix of bacteria left in the pockets of gum around each tooth. The laser has a tiny little tip that shines like a flashlight down in the pockets, heating that bacteria up just enough to kill it without hurting you. The majority of patients that have this treatment see improvements in their oral health.
