Laser Dentistry In San Diego

Advantage of Laser Dentistry

There are several advantages to laser dentistry, such as:

• Less bleeding
• Less damage to surrounding tissues
• Less pain, sometimes even eliminating the need for anesthesia
• Patients are less likely to require sutures
• Quicker healing and recovery time
• The laser sterilizes the area, making infections less likely
• The virtually silent laser tool allows for a more relaxed dental experience!




Emergency Laser Dentistry

Laser dentistry uses advanced light technology to provide precise and comfortable dental treatment. Although laser procedures are minimally invasive and promote faster healing, unexpected pain, swelling, or irritation may sometimes occur. When discomfort worsens or does not improve, emergency dental evaluation may be necessary to protect your oral health.

Warning signs include burning sensations after treatment, increasing swelling, prolonged sensitivity, bleeding that does not stop, or signs of infection such as fever or discharge. If symptoms arise, gently rinse with warm salt water, avoid touching the treated area, apply a cold compress externally to reduce swelling, and use over-the-counter pain relief if needed.

Contact your dentist promptly if pain intensifies, swelling spreads, or healing does not progress as expected. Your dental provider can examine the area, manage any complications, and ensure proper recovery. Following aftercare instructions carefully and attending follow-up visits helps maintain comfort and achieve successful laser treatment results.
