Laser cleaning

LASER stands for “light amplification by the stimulated emission of radiation.” The instrument creates light energy in a very narrow and focused beam. This laser light produces a reaction when it hits tissue, allowing it to remove or shape the tissue.

Dental lasers are advanced devices that deliver powerful beams of light. The beam of light is directed on the oral cavity to help the dentist to remove plaque and other unwanted materials on the teeth. Interestingly, these lasers can even clean tooth decay and gum infections. The effectiveness of lasers extends to sterilization and sealing blood vessels to reduce the risk of bleeding or infection. This means that patients whose treatments include dental lasers typically feel comfortable while the procedure lasts.

Laser dentistry is used in a variety of procedures, including:

One of the most routinely advisable treatment which is now a days used is Laser cleaning.

Laser Cleaning:

  • Laser Cleaning, also known as Laser Bacterial Reduction (LBR), is a procedure that can be done before scaling procedure. A non-cutting laser is aimed directly into the gingiva around the teeth.
  •  The laser kills any bacteria in this area, preventing the spread and progression of gum disease.
  •  Laser bacterial reduction is incredibly beneficial and can improve the overall health of your mouth.
  • It prevents bacteria from infecting sensitive gum tissue and the area around the teeth.
  • Also prevents bacterial infection spreading to other teeth.

Is laser bacterial reduction effective?

  • The laser is also effective in reducing and inhibiting the recolonization of the bacteria thus creating a healthy environment for healing of the gums and preventing inflammation and spreading infection.

Flossing

Brushing is a good start and an inevitable thing, but flossing removes plaque in places a brush can’t reach, like the small gaps between teeth and under the gums. It also polishes tooth surfaces and decreases the risk of gum disease. The American Dental Association recommends flossing your teeth every day to improve oral health and prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and more. 

Benefits of flossing:

  • Helps remove food particles and plaque between teeth and along the gum line where your toothbrush can’t reach.
  • removal of bad breath-causing bacteria than brushing alone
  • Removal of plaque from below the gum line, which can erode tooth enamel and develop into tartar.
  • Reduce the risk of cavities
  • Helps prevent gingivitis, which can progress to periodontitis

When should you floss?

  • At least once per day, preferably before bedtime
  • Floss before brushing in order to ensure the loosened particles are cleaned away from the mouth

What kinds of floss are there?

  • Waxed and un-waxed thread
  • Super floss
  • Air flosses
  • Water flosses

Waxed and un-waxed thread: Waxed floss contains a thin layer of wax on the surface. Because of this coating, it is usually a little bit thicker, but also easier to get between the teeth as the wax acts as a lubricant. Un-waxed floss is thinner and can be easier to get between your teeth. 

Super floss: Super floss is a special kind of dental floss that comes in pre-cut segments. The ends are still and thin, which helps you to thread it through tight areas. It also has a segment that removes plaque as you floss.

Air floss: Air Floss removes more plaque between teeth than manual brushing alone, and helps improve gum health. It also helps prevent cavities between teeth. This device is safe and gentle for implants and veneers.

Water floss: A water flosser is a device that aims a stream of water at the teeth. It’s also called an oral irrigator or a dental water jet. A water flosser can help remove food particles between teeth.

Benefits of Water Flosser:

  • Water flossers remove more plaque than traditional floss.
  • Are gentle on gum tissue.
  • Water flossers are easy to use.
  • Water flossers are ideal for patients undergoing orthodontic treatment, such as braces.
