Laser Dentistry
We offer pediatric laser dentistry to children in Livingston County and the surrounding areas.
Laser dentistry is incredibly versatile, cutting-edge, and plays an important role in a growing number of common dental procedures.
At LifeSmiles Pediatric Dentistry, we believe in making your child’s dental experience as fear-free and pain-free as possible. We offer the latest technologies in dental care to help minimize discomfort sometimes felt during traditional dental procedures.
Laser dentistry is a revolutionary dental tool that uses a combination of laser energy and water to perform a variety of dental procedures with fewer shots and less anesthesia. This method allows treatment to be minimally invasive, precise, and provides a better dental experience for both patients and parents.
Dental lasers are safe and effective for a number of uses in pediatric dentistry, such as:
Exposing partially-erupted wisdom teeth
Removing inflamed gum tissue
Performing biopsies
Removing the frenulum, correcting tongue-tied patients
Treating cavities
Treating infections
How does it work?
Dental lasers makes fine, precise incisions. This method preserves the healthy tooth and reduces discomfort often associated with traditional procedures. Unlike drills, lasers do not cause irritating sensations like vibrations and pressure, making for a more comfortable dental experience.
A great alternative to shots!
Lasers assist with numbing by confusing the nerve fibers of the tooth and eliminating the sensation of pain. Dr. Gail can reduce discomfort in patients without the need for shots. If your child can’t bear needles, or if you’re searching for a gentle alternative to shots, our laser dentistry techniques will be an ideal solution for your family.
