What is Caries?
Caries, also known as cavities, can appear as holes or soft structure that can develop on any surface of your teeth. When sugar and acids carried by food are allowed to rest on your teeth, they wear away the tooth structure over time. This creates an opening through which bacteria may enter – if bacteria infect the center of a tooth (the pulp), it can lead to severe pain and threaten the tooth's viability.
Why Choose Laser Caries Removal?
Traditionally, metal tools and drills were used to remove cavities and infections. This treatment often results in discomfort and long recovery times.
Lasers can be modulated to replicate the effects of traditional tools. With the right device, we can excavate the cavity and remove bacteria from the treated area prior placing a filling. Lasers treatments are just, if not more effective than using mechanical dental tools while providing a higher level of comfort and faster recovery times.
