Laser Dentistry: The Future of Dental Cleaning Is Here!

What if, during your next dental cleaning, your dentist could forgo the scraper and polishing brush in favor of lasers? Laser dentistry is not new-in fact, clinical trials involving the use of lasers in dentistry started in the 1960s. However, although the rest of the world has been using lasers for teeth cleaning for some time, they have only been adopted widely in the United States in recent years. Laser dentistry offers a long list of advantages for patients in terms of comfort and effectiveness. Here is a closer look at how lasers may change your future teeth cleaning appointments.

Plaque and Tartar Removal

Removing plaque and tartar is the focus of most preventive dental cleanings. When you brush and floss at home, you are removing some plaque from your teeth, but it is inevitable that you will leave some behind. The plaque that is left behind will eventually harden into tartar, which you cannot remove with home care. Leaving plaque and tartar on your teeth can lead to decay and gum disease, not to mention systemic health issues, like an increased risk of heart disease.

Typically, plaque and tartar are removed manually using dental tools in a process that can be uncomfortable for patients. With laser dentistry, targeted laser beams break down plaque and tartar, removing it without relying on scrapers. The process is faster, more comfortable, and more precise.

Deep Cleaning for Gum Disease

If your dentist notices inflamed gums during a regular cleaning, she may recommend a deep clean. The traditional method of doing this involves numbing your gums with a local anesthetic, and then pulling back the gums from the tooth roots to scrape off plaque and bacteria underneath. This usually causes bleeding, swelling, and discomfort. With laser dental cleanings, your dentist can clean under the gum tissue without having to pull it back. This allows your dentist to treat infections that cause gum disease without the need for anesthetic or an uncomfortable recovery period.
