1 Laser Dentistry The latest revolution in dentistry is the dental laser. Weutilize the advanced technology of dental lasers to perform leading-edgedentistry for our patients. Dental lasers allow us to perform special dental functionswithout changing or damaging the surrounding tissues of your mouth. Bydelivering energy in the form of a concentrated light beam, the dental laser isable to easily and smoothly perform specific functions in the tight crevices ofyour mouth. Lasers are very specific in regard to the wavelengthproduced. This means that there must be a different laser for each type ofprocedure that you want to complete. There is little or no sound associatedwith laser treatment, a pleasant treat for the dental patient who hasexperienced the whine of the dental drill. Lasers can be used in a variety of dentalprocedures including Diagnosis A Special Laser is used first to detect whetherthere is any decay in your your teeth (except if it already so big that you cansee it!). This is done with a diagnodent laser.

2 Fillings Withlaser dentistry we can detect decay in your teeth and treat it painlessly, waybefore it destroys most of your tooth and before any dentist can even see itwith their naked eye. This helps prevent further pain, damage to your teeth andreally saves you money and repeated dental treatments. TheErbium YAG laser can then be used to remove decay, painlessly, before restoringyour tooth to its healthy state with a tooth coloured filling. There is novibration, or numbness and you ll be comfortable for the entire treatment.

3 Frenectomies & tongue ties Manypeople have lips and tongues that are held too tight by the frenum (thatligament that attaches your lips and your tongue to your gum and jaw bone).this can cause gum recession in between the teeth (mainly the front upper andfront lower teeth). It can impede speech (especially in children) andsometimes it keeps teeth separated, also common in children. Many babies canfind it difficult to suckle if they have a tied tongue. Mothers, midwives anddoctors see this often. Theconventional surgery to release frenums is quite traumatic, painful and cantake a long time to heal. With lasers we can precisely and painlessly removethe tissue making it more comfortable for you. There is no bleeding afterwards,no sutures and hardly any discomfort. Children go to school the day after andadults can go back to work the same day. Eating is normal and a baby willsuckle immediately after the procedure! It is a truly amazing way to havesurgery.

4 Laser dentistry is the one of the most advanced methods totreat many dental problems. Laser dentistry is now the dentistry of choice asit causes no pain and discomfort, no bleeding, no cuts and hence no sutures andeven no noise. Laser dentistry is widely used in paediatric dentistryprocedures as children are not subjected to pain and discomfort that is avertedby using anesthetics in ordinary dentistry. There is not even a disturbing grinding soundthat is so unnerving for children. Laser dentistry Sydney is the preferred choice for variousdentistry procedures at Sydney Chidrens Dentistry. A laser is an intense light beam that produces a specificwave length of energy that can be directed to any specific place. The energyemitted by a laser beam will act only on that place and no other. In laserdentistry the dental laser can be used for many functions. It can be used todetect tooth caries, it can treat tooth decay and it can also act on tissuessuch as the frenum that can cause tied tongue in children. As a diagnostic tool dental lasers having a particular wavelength of emitted beam can detect caries even before a dentist can detect itwith the naked eye and long before a caries causes pain in the little patient.a Diagnodent laser or diagnostic dental laser can do this job efficiently. A laser dental tool is also used in treatment of decayedtooth. Even tooth decay that is not obvious is detected and a specific laserdental tool is used to treat the decay so that it is completely and painlesslytreated so that the teeth are restored to normal good health once again. One of the most important uses of laser paediatric dentistryis for the correction of toed tongue syndrome, a condition where the normalmovement of the tongue is restricted because of extra attachment to the frenumor the connective tissue at the back of the mouth to which the jaws are alsoconnected. Due to this problem, children can suffer from speech impediment,difficulty in suckling etc.

5 A dental laser tool specifically for the purpose can removethe extra tissue so that the tongue is released and the problems arising fromthe tongue being tied are also relieved. Laser dentistry in this case leaves notrauma or scars to heal and is completely painless so that the child can goback to school the very next day. If conventional surgery was used for this dental problem, itwould have been traumatic, painful and would take a long time to heal.
