Laser dentistry is one of the more recent advances in dentistry. Lasers have been used in other medical fields for a number of treatments. In dentistry, lasers are used to remove decay, instead of using the conventional dental drill. There are a number of advantages to the use of lasers for dental treatment:
- Patients who experience lots of anxiety when they visit the dentist may find that they prefer laser treatments because they reduce the need for needles.
- It is a painless treatment for cavities and other dental issues.
- It shortens the recovery time of dental procedures.
