4. Frenectomy and Tongue Tie Correction:

Patients’ children as well as adults may have a piece of tissue under their tongue or lip that is too tight. This can make it hard to talk eat or even for babies to feed. With the help of Lasers, this tissue can be removed gently with hardly any bleeding and less trauma. This results in faster healing.

A laser machine can be used to whiten teeth along with the appropriate materials .The peroxide in whitening agents is activated by the laser energy. this helps the patient to achieve a desired whiter smile.

Small oral lesions like mucoceles can be carefully excised with the help of lasers. This too led to less trauma to the patient and as a result, leads to faster and painless healing.

Lasers are very location specific tools. so, the healthy area of the mouth remains untouched. The area of work is very specific and focussed .

Is Laser Dentistry Safe?

Yes, Laser dentistry is extremely safe.

Laser beams are tightly controlled so they touch only the exact spot being treated. Special protective eyewear is given to the patient during treatment. The Laser is carefully calibrated for each procedure and patient. Trained dentists use the equipment

Since the area is specific, the site is small and healing is faster. Therefore, leading to fewer complications.

It is important to note that Lasers cannot be used in all cases. It cannot do dental procedures like fillings crowns, etc., that still requires conventional dentistry.

Traditional dentistry still forms the bulk of all dental treatment. Dental Lasers do not always eliminate the need for anaesthesia.
