Dental lasers are new-and-improved dental technology that make treatments easier and better and they help the patients feel more comfortable and safe in the dental chair. Many dentists today use lasers for a variety of different types of treatments, like:

· Tooth decay removal: The laser can remove the decay from the tooth and can also help the tooth prepare for the filling.
· Gum treatment: If your gums have receded from your teeth, lasers can reshape the tissues in your mouth to give you a more attractive and healthy smile.
· Root canal therapy: The laser can remove bacteria in the area receiving the therapy, which will reduce the chances of infection.
· Biopsy: In a biopsy, a small piece of your oral tissue is needed, and a laser can help with that by painlessly removing a piece of the tissue for the examination of oral cancer.
· Lesion removal: The laser can remove the lesion from your mouth.

The laser can be used as a cutting instrument or a soft tissue vaporizer. It can also be used to strengthen the bond between a filling and a tooth and it can quicken the teeth-whitening process in the office by heating the whitening solution.

There are many benefits to dental lasers. Some of those benefits are:

· They can reduce the pain experienced in the treatments, which can also reduce the need for anesthesia.
· They can reduce the anxiety in patients because they replace the dental drill.
· They minimize the bleeding and swelling during treatments that deal with soft tissues.
· They can preserve more of the healthy enamel when removing a cavity.
