Laser technology is one of the most transformative innovations in medicine and healthcare. At one point, lasers were a subject for speculation about the future in science fiction, but it’s now a mainstream part of medical treatments. Treatments that use laser are generally far more effective, have shorter healing time, and they’re far more comfortable.
Soft Tissue Laser is one of the most advanced dental equipment used for a variety of treatments such as gingivectomy and gingivoplasty. The soft tissues in your mouth cover up roughly 30 square inches of area and they’re also generally the most sensitive parts of your dental makeup. Lasers are often used to remove annoying bumps and lumps and it’s also used to further study suspicious marks.
Traditionally, biopsy samples had to be handled with incisions and sutures, which was more painful and also left a slight mark. However, thanks to soft tissue laser, dentists simply wave a pen-like laser wand over the target region to remove all bumps and lumps. Furthermore, laser energy also facilitates immediate healing so there’s no need for stitches or long recovery procedures.
Soft tissue laser can also be used for a variety of cosmetic procedures to shape your gums without bleeding or discomfort. Lasers can also be used to treat infections and gum diseases rapidly. If you suffer from cold sores or recurrent ulcers, soft tissue laser is one of the best way to not just get rid of them but to also prevent ulcers from coming back. Lasers don’t lead to side effects and can also be used to treat children and move wisdom teeth in the correct position.
