Laser stands for "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation"
After diagnosis, Dr. Sasco creates a customized treatment plan for the child. This plan outlines the specific procedures to be performed using the laser. It could be anything from treating cavities and gum disease to performing frenectomies. The treatment plan is designed keeping in mind the child's comfort and well-being, ensuring a positive and stress-free dental experience.
The actual laser treatment is a quick and virtually painless process. The dentist uses the laser to perform the necessary dental procedures with precision and minimal discomfort. The laser's concentrated light energy allows for a high degree of control, reducing the risk of damage to surrounding tissues. After the treatment, the child can usually resume normal activities immediately.
One of the primary benefits of Pediatric Laser Therapy is that it's minimally invasive. Unlike traditional dental procedures, laser therapy doesn't involve drills or needles, making it a less intimidating option for children. It also results in less swelling and bleeding, promoting faster healing.
Laser therapy significantly reduces discomfort during and after the procedure. The high-energy light beam numbs the treatment area, eliminating the need for anesthesia in some cases. This makes the dental visit less daunting for the child and more manageable for the parents.
Pediatric Laser Therapy offers a high degree of precision, allowing the dentist to target only the affected area without harming the surrounding tissues. Additionally, the laser sterilizes the treatment area, reducing the risk of infection and promoting a safer dental experience.
Lasers were first used in dentistry in 1989 for procedures involving the gums.
