What is laser dental cleaning?

Lasers are straight beams of energy that can be precisely directed to focus plaque and tartar. This level of delicacy allows the dentist to clean the teeth. This level of delicacy allows the dentist to clean the teeth without damaging the gums. The procedure does not require scraping or separating the gum from the teeth.

Laser dental cleaning, also known as periodontal laser therapy, has become a very popular method of treating gum disease. A deep cleaning performed using laser dentistry does not require a dental professional to use special dental tools. Instead, they'll use a laser to treat any plaque and tartar buildup. A laser uses light energy to gently break up plaque and tartar, which is a much gentler process for teeth and gums.

When performing a deep laser cleaning, the benefits are many and include minimal swelling, minimal discomfort, minimal or no bleeding, and a much faster recovery time. Laser technology allows the dentist or hygienist to reach deeper areas of the gums and teeth without causing pain to the patient. A deeper laser dental cleaning ensures that the entire mouth is healthy. Any gum disease that is present will be more likely to stop and plaque and tartar can be removed from all teeth.

Ultimately, it's best to see a dentist so you can determine if laser dentistry is best for you. You can also ask your insurance provider for recommendations and ask friends and family who have had positive experiences with laser dentistry. We can schedule a deep dental laser cleaning so that your teeth are free of any tartar or plaque buildup that has built up over time. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved laser dentistry as a treatment option for several dental conditions.

Laser dentistry potentially offers a more comfortable treatment option for a number of dental procedures involving hard or soft tissue compared to drills and other non-laser tools. Popular sources of education are dental schools and dental associations, as well as the Academy of Laser Dentistry (ALD). Laser treatments like these can vary in price, depending on the procedure being performed and the laser equipment used.
