  • How does the dentist use the technique of laser dentistry?

    The dentists use the hydrophotonics technique which uses the combination of laser energy as well as spray of water that help in performing various procedures on gums, teeth and teeth bones more easily. The laser energy is absorbed by molecules of water present in the tooth tissues. The laser energy causes a explosion because the water molecules expand which in turn moves apart the tooth particle.

    Tooth sensitivity arises when the protective enamel of the tooth wears away, exposing the underlying dentin and nerve endings. When the teeth are exposed to hot or cold temperatures or other stimuli, this can cause discomfort or suffering.

    The affected areas are treated with laser radiation, which seals the small tubules in the dentin that are responsible for conveying feelings that cause sensitivity. This approach can assist to alleviate or eliminate the discomfort caused by tooth sensitivity.
