Laser dental treatments are developing very rapidly and are becoming an integral part of modern dental treatments. Many experts are cautiously optimistic about the future of laser dentistry and what it has to offer patients as we move into dentistry's future. 

What Is Laser Dentistry?
Laser dentistry is the use of lasers to treat a variety of different dental needs. Today, many dentists are adopting laser dentistry as an easier means to treat a variety of conditions such as:

  • Tooth decay
  • Gum disease
  • Biopsy/lesion removal
  • Teeth whitening
Laser dentistry can help improve all of these aspects of the dental industry while making treatment easier for the patients undergoing the treatments in the first place.

Using Laser Dental Treatments For Cavity Detection:
One way that laser treatments are beginning to impact the field of dentistry is by detecting the decay within the tooth at an earlier stage so that it can get filled before it begins causing more problems for the patient.

Lasers vaporize the tissues that need to get treated and act as a heat source by effectively enhancing the effects of the applied tooth-bleaching agents. 

Is Laser Dentistry Safe?
Laser dentistry is rapidly expanding, and many dentists have already begun offering laser treatments. The FDA Has approved laser dentistry, but the American Dental Association (ADA) has not approved one specific laser system for use in the field. It's a continually developing technology that has been in the works since 1994 and continues to develop even today.

Conclusions:
At the Lakes Family Dental, we are committed to providing patients with the best, cutting edge care available. We offer certain forms of laser dental treatments and will get to add more procedures as we move forward, and the laser technology continues to improve. The future of Laser dentistry is quite bright and will take a lot of the pain and discomfort out of certain dental procedures as we move forward.
