What is Laser- Assisted Cavity Removal?
Laser- assisted cavity removal refers to an innovative approach to treating cavities. This method is a much faster, more comfortable, and less painful way to treat cavity.
Cavities were earlier treated with fillings, crowns, or root canals. This can leave patients feeling anxiety, pain, and discomfort. However, with a laser, there are no shots or drills, which is usually the worst part about treating a cavity.
Dental lasers work to vaporize plaque, decayed tooth matter, bacteria, and other buildup. Additionally, lasers reduce the need for painkillers and general anesthesia. Further, the non-invasive nature of a dental laser can help patients feel more comfortable during their procedure.

How can laser dentistry help with removing of cavities?
One of the biggest advantage of laser dentistry is the added benefit and cost saving ability. By using the laser, many of the treatments are done in half the time it would take doing it the traditional way. It is also a much cheaper option which makes it a win-win for both the patient and dentist.
Most important use of Laser Dentistry for cavities is the early detection abilities that come from using the laser. Having the ability to detect early signs of tooth decay that would not be spotted by even the most trained dentist, gives an upper hand in fighting cavities and decay.
1. Preparation and fillings: One thing that patients love to find out is that the dental drills and local anesthesia are both not typically needed when using dental lasers for the preparation of a filling. Because the lasers can kill the bacteria, this is another added benefit of laser dentistry tools.
2. Tooth sensitivity treatment: Any teeth that experience severe hot and cold sensitivity to foods or drinks can breathe a sigh of relief. Because of the lasers healing abilities, the sensitivity can be greatly reduced if not eliminated using dental lasers.
How can I prevent cavity from developing?
There are various preventative measures you can take to preserve your oral health and reduce the likelihood of developing tooth decay.
- Brush with fluoride toothpaste twice a day.
- Avoid frequent snacking, especially sugary treats.
- Visit your dentist twice a year for regular examinations.
How are cavities detected?
Generally, a cavity can be detected at your twice-yearly routine dental checkup. Your dentist will examine your mouth for decay and other dental issues. Additionally, you may notice a cavity is present if you have tooth pain, aches, or sensitive spots.
Therefore, we emphasize the importance of visiting your dentist twice a year for early detection of cavities and ways to prevent decay from developing further.
