What is all the fuss about laser dentistry?
Laser dentistry is useful in the treatment of decay and restoring teeth. Mareeba Dental Centre understands anxious patients and it can be very helpful for those who don't want to hear a drilling sound.
It works on the principle of vapourising water molecules. As each molecule of water is vaporized it makes a small popping sound - each time this happens a small amount of tooth structure is removed.
Laser dentistry can be done without injections, but sometimes they are still required.
After the restoration is finished, the filling still requires polishing in a conventional manner.
Lasers can also be used for a variety of other treatments – including
- Lasering of ulcers
- Cold sores
- Bleaching'
- Gum disease treatments
- Sterilizing root canals
- Gum lifts
- Frenectomies
