I must say lately my laser has been my favourite dental instrument, I have been using it for so many things. Besides using for the common dental treatments you use the laser for such as gingivitis, periodontal disease, cold/canker/denture sores, frenectomies and all soft tissue augmentation procedures, my laser has been my workhorse for desensitizing, disinfection and initiation of healing.
My laser gives much more predictable results each time I need to desensitize a tooth whether it be due to recession or when their is large decay close to the pulp. In a few situations I have been able to prevent/postpone a visit to the endodontist (root canal specialist). I was at a course about a 1/2 year ago given by the Institue of Laser Dentistry www.laserdentistry.ca
where Dr. Frank Yung was lecturing and he talked about using the laser to get patients out of immediate pain and possibly preventing a root canal, I was blown away to say the least.
Besides using the laser to disinfect/sterilize the mouth for periondontal infection/gingivitis to allow patients to heal from the disease process I also use the laser to disinfect the socket of a recently extracted tooth. In these situations I have seen tremendous reduction in post-operative discomfort and which also initiates faster healing. Did you know treatment with a dental laser initiates healing approximately 4x faster than the body's natural healing process.
Can you tell I am in love with my laser, I can absolutely do so many things that I previously could not! In using it I can improve treatment results and offer a higher quality of treatment with a more manageable comfort level. A special compounded type of topical anaesthetic I have been using for about a year now has also reduced how many needles I am giving!
I can across an interesting article that may interest some of you, check it out!

I like all of them except number one, I would prefer if you would ask me about dental whitening agents as many misconceptions exist with over the counter ones vs. professional used ones.
Have a great day!
