For nearly two decades, lasers have been used for preventive, restorative and cosmetic purposes in dentistry. Today, lasers are approved for safety by the Food and Drug Administration, and they have become much more prevalent and standard in dental offices across the country. Lasers work by delivering energy in the form of light. This energy can be used to achieve accuracy and precision when shaping the gums, biopsying oral tissues, removing tooth decay, and killing bacteria during deep cleanings and a root canal. Laser energy also promotes healing of the soft tissues. Lasers are even being used for elective cosmetic procedures, such as to expedite & maximize the effects of in-office tooth whitening.
