Even though the vast majority of adults in America have cavities, most dentists don\u2019t use laser treatment to fight or prevent them.\u00a0 According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,<\/a> nine out of 10 (91%) adults between the ages of 20 and 64 have dental cavities.\u00a0 With all of the clinical data on the benefits of using lasers for oral surgery and cavity prevention and the need-based innovation driving the industry, it\u2019s only a matter of time before the technology is more widely embraced.<\/p>\n

Lasers have been around for decades, but experts are still coming up with new ways to use them.\u00a0 One innovation in cavity prevention is the Short-pulsed carbon dioxide laser.\u00a0 This type of laser can actually alter the chemical composition of tooth\u00a0enamel, making it stronger. When applied directly to the tooth, the heat from the laser changes the top layer of enamel to make it more resistant to acid–the main instigator of cavities.<\/a>\u00a0 That way, even when bacteria form in the mouth and begin producing acid, the teeth are protected from the negative effects.<\/p>\n

\"A

Pulsed laser treatment provides many non-invasive options for preventing and treating oral health issues.<\/p><\/div>\n

A small clinical study in 2012 showed that laser treatment–when combined with a fluoride varnish–could improve the remineralization of teeth, almost like reversing old damage and erosion.\u00a0 Experts believe that it can be used to strengthen the teeth around existing fillings, and to protect vulnerable areas near orthodontic work.\u00a0 It\u2019s one of the ways lasers can be used to protect and save the natural integrity of the tooth.<\/p>\n

While lasers are mostly used for soft tissue surgery,<\/a> it is estimated that one out of 10 dentists uses the technology in their offices.\u00a0 Supporters are seeking FDA approval for using the short-pulsed carbon dioxide laser in cavity prevention. While lasers are already approved for cutting teeth and soft tissue are have been shown to be effective on enamel, the short-pulsed carbon dioxide laser has yet to make it to the front lines of cutting-edge mainstream dentistry. At PreserveYourTeeth Dentistry \u00ae we use laser treatment technology for treating teeth sensitivity, decay removal, decay prevention, strength enhancement of dental bonding, dental pulp or nerve regeneration, gum and bone periodontal regeneration, full mouth bacterial decontamination or LPD to treat gum inflammation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
