The laser removes decayed tooth structure much faster than healthy tooth structure. This means, unlike the drill which removes everything in its path, that the laser removes much less healthy tooth. This means the tooth is left much stronger with less chance of future problems.
The laser is much safer for the patient than the dental drill spinning at 600,000 rpm. It's practically impossible to accidentally injure a patient's lip, tongue or cheek with the laser. After all, they're safe for your eyes, one of the most sensitive and fragile parts of the human body.
There is preliminary evidence that laser treatment actually hardens the tooth surface and kills decay causing germs, making it more resistant to tooth decay. The laser makes white fillings and sealants stick tighter to the tooth. This means they can last longer and be more resistant to tooth decay.
Since shots are not required, treatment can be faster and in multiple areas of the mouth. Oral and gum surgery and root canal treatments have minimal swelling, bleeding, pain and virtually no infection. Treatment of gum disease is also possible. No scalpels, no stitches, and in most cases no shots.
Since kids don't leave from their appointments with numbness, there is no chance they will accidentally bite their lip or tongue.
I just had the new laser procedure today for a cavity. It was more painful shaving this morning than having this cavity take care of. The procedure was completely painless and only took a few short minutes to complete.
Thanks again,

What do I think about the Waterlase™ laser? NO PAIN, NO PAIN, and NO PAIN! Fifty million times better than one shot in the mouth! It was very quick, effective and efficient! This is the dentistry of the future today! Thank God for great technology like the Waterlase™ laser!

I had several cavities filled today with the laser. I was totally shocked at how painless this was and no shots! It was as easy as getting my teeth cleaned! NO KIDDING!

I had my first laser treatment for my gum disease today and it didn't hurt one bit, even with no shots! I wish this treatment had been available 20 years ago!

My laser treatment today took 15 minutes in and out, no pain, no shots, quick and easy. This was the BEST dental visit I have ever had!
