Laser treatment at the dentist

The dental laser is a laser that can be used in dentistry for various procedures.

What is laser treatment at the dentist??

Laser beams are highly focused light beams of certain wavelengths. Due to the energy it carries, the laser beam has various effects in the tissue, ranging from surgical cuts to stimulation of wound healing. By adjusting the radiation dose, numerous different treatments can be carried out.

Depending on the type, the dental laser can partially or completely replace a scalpel or a drill during dental treatment. The laser works without contact and therefore does not generate vibrations or pressure on the tooth and the tooth environment. The laser pulses are extremely short and depending on the laser type, additional cooling takes place.
