In recent years, laser dentistry has become more widely used in dental offices. Several types of lasers have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are safe for both children and adults.

 

Benefits of Laser Dentistry include:

• Minimal use of anesthesia

• Minimal bleeding during treatment

• More controlled swelling

• Reduced postoperative infection/discomfort

• Reduced time in dentist's office

• Treatment of canker sore and herpes lesions
