The reason that laser dentistry is so rapidly increasing in popularity is that it offers several crucial and desirable benefits. One benefit is the reduction of bleeding during the actual treatment and also the reduction of bleeding after the procedure is completed. The light beams of laser dentistry are also much gentler than many of the other tools that dentists have traditionally used. This allows tissue to heal much more quickly after a completed procedure. This, of course, allows recovery times to be much shorter. A laser beam is also much more precise than other methods. This means that there is a great reduction in pain and discomfort during the procedure. Greater precision also contributes to a shortened recovery time following the procedure. Another benefit to laser dentistry is that the reduced contact of the mouth with the tools and hands of the dentist can reduce the possibility of bacterial infections.
