Lasers used to provide gentle care from your Idaho Falls dentist

Dental lasers are a relatively new application for a powerful form but gentle form of energy.  Lasers can be used in cutting, blasting and welding.  Sound tough and scary, don’t they?  Lasers, however, can be surprisingly gentle when used in the professional hands of an Idaho Falls cosmetic or family dentist to treat your dental needs

.

How can the same type of light that scans your groceries, also improve your dental health and overall appearance?  Lasers are simply highly concentrated beams of light energy.  When properly controlled and used, their applications are limitless.  The FDA has approved dental lasers for use by trained professionals, such as your Idaho Falls cosmetic or family dentist.  Your dentist will be able to perform a number of procedures with minimal or no discomfort to you.

When a dental laser is used, your Idaho Falls dentist is able to focus the intense beam of light on one specific area.  Laser dentistry allows Idaho Falls dentists to perform precise and intricate work on the teeth and gums.  Happily, this can reduce the need for cutting that used to be required for some dental procedures.  No cutting means less bleeding and no stitches.  Bleeding in the mouth during a laser dental procedure is minimal.  The laser beam actually helps the blood to clot.  Another benefit of laser dentistry is the reduction of infections in the mouth.  The dental laser is amazing!  The beam from the laser sterilizes the area being worked on.   Idaho Falls family dentists and their patients report less bruising or tissue damage around the area being treated as the dentist is able to work without bumping or hurting other areas of the mouth.
