Laser Use In Dentistry:

Most small cavities can be completed without numbing using a laser. The WaterlaseMD Laser can be used to numb the large majority of teeth by simply shining the low power laser light on the tooth. Then the laser can be used to get the cavity out of the tooth, or a regular dental drill can also be used. We have been using the laser in the office for 3 years now and nearly all the patients report the same when asked: "On a scale of 1-100, with 100 being very uncomfortable, how do you rate the laser just used?"

• I didn't feel a thing, I rate it zero discomfort.

• All I felt was some cold, maybe a two or a three.

• I didn't feel a thing, this is great, no pain at all.

• This is great, I really don't like being numbed up.

We have found that people do not like the feeling of being numb, and the laser is a great tool to get their small fillings done, pain-free without numbing.
