Increasing evidence demonstrates the usefulness of lasers in dentistry.
They are being used in a wide range of applications, and most of them requiring no injections, just topical anaesthetic (gum gel).
You might have heard of dental lasers being used to cut soft tissues and remove tooth decay. What you may not have realised is that they can also be used to relieve muscle pain, heal mouth ulcers, accelerate wound repair, tooth whitening, ease sensitive teeth and disinfect root canals and gum pockets.
With all these benefits, EDHT has decided it’s time to invest in laser dentistry. Before we offer these services within the practice, as you would expect of Richard, he has been busy studying. This Friday, Saturday and Sunday he was in Barcelona at the World Clinical Laser Institute (WCLA) Biolase 2013 Symposium gaining knowledge from European experts about how lasers are most effectively used in dentistry.
We have initially purchased a lower cost Diode Laser (there are larger more complex lasers available) and hope our patients will soon be experiencing the enhanced healing that lasers offer.
