Oral bacteria can cause many dental problems starting with bad breath to bleeding gums and eventually tooth mobility/loss. Regular teeth brushing can reduce the bacterial load, yet hidden places between your teeth on the inner surface of gums can still create a reservoir for dental disease-causing bacteria. They replicate and grow, your body initiates an inflammatory process that starts with inflammation and leads to gums disease and bone loss. The only way to stop the rapid destruction is to remove the initial causative factor and eliminate the bacteria from around the teeth and gum surfaces. Our dentists in Brookline, MA recommend laser technology by BIOLASE, as an advanced modality for bacterial elimination during your dental cleaning.

How does laser bacterial reduction work?

Laser bacterial reduction uses a laser diode to kill bacteria in dental pockets. The laser has a special wavelength and is designed to target the bacteria in dental pockets with photon energy as an adjunctive decontamination procedure in addition to the traditional cleaning.

Is laser bacterial reduction invasive and patient-friendly?

The small diode used for laser bacterial reduction is comfortable for the patients and is actually narrowed than the perio-probe instrument used to diagnose gum disease. It is a short chair-side procedure that takes roughly 2 minutes.

Is laser bacterial reduction painful?

The laser bacterial reduction causes no pain, and the pocket decontaminating is faster than other procedures. It reduces the chances of dental bleeding and provides a clean area with less risk of bacteria getting into the bloodstream during the cleaning procedure. Overall, this dental treatment makes the bacteria-killing more effective.

What dental problems can be treated by the use of laser bacteria reduction?

The main use of laser bacterial reduction is in periodontal disease that causes gum bleeding and inflammation. However, it can be used as an adjunctive therapy with oral ulcers, herpes, and even teeth whitening with its ability to desensitize teeth during the whitening procedure.

How long does it take gums to heal after laser dentistry?

The after-treatment oral healing is faster than conventional dental techniques. Cleaning by BIOLASE is more effective and it removes most of the dental bacteria in a short time. There is no need for any local anesthesia injection and long patient preparation.
