Lasers in dentistry are devices that use concentrated light energy to perform a variety of dental procedures with great precision. They are commonly used for cutting soft and hard tissues, treating gum diseases, removing tooth decay, and even for teeth whitening. Compared to traditional dental instruments, lasers cause less bleeding, reduce pain, and often eliminate the need for anesthesia.
