The Top 3 Reasons Why Using a Dental Laser is the Best Way to Treat a Cavity:
1) NO NEEDLES!!! Really? In most of cases yes!! A laser dentist will examine the tooth in question and review the x-ray to determine how deep the cavity is before treatment is started. In a small to medium size cavity, the laser can remove the decay without the patient being numb. If the cavity is very deep, then the patient may need to get numb. The dental laser can also provide a light anesthetic effect to the tooth. Not having to get numb reduces the chances of accidentally biting the cheek or lip after the treatment while waiting for the anesthetic to wear off. This means you could eat right away and return to your daily activities without being numb.
2) The laser will take the place of the drill. A dental laser uses light to remove decay from the cavity, whereas a drill must grind into the tooth to remove the decay.
3) A laser dentist can treat multiple areas of the mouth in a single appointment. This is a huge benefit to the patients with busy schedules or dental anxiety. Over with and done in a single day, AND you don’t have to worry about being numb when returning to work or your daily activities!
