Dental Lasers
Uses Of Dental Lasers
Lasers are appliances that produce intense beams of light energy. When the light energy comes into contact with body tissues, there is a reaction. This reaction removes or reshapes the body tissues that it comes into contact with. Dental lasers are used at either low densities or high densities depending on the procedure. They have been in use since the 1990s. Dental lasers are used in conjunction with other instruments and are safe and effective in treatment of a wide range of dental problems.
