Laser dentistry uses light energy to manipulate and change soft tissue in the mouth. The laser creates a narrow beam with a concentrated point when it comes into contact with the tissue, allowing the laser to do what traditional dental tools do, but better. The light energy is controlled by wavelengths – adjusting these allows different targets to be treated, such as tooth decay, gums or enamel.
