How Can Sensitive Teeth Be Treated with Laser Dentistry?

Dental lasers create a beam of light energy that can stimulate targeted areas to help reduce sensitivity. Different types of lasers your dentist may use can seal or numb the painful area.

When your dentist uses a laser for tooth sensitivity, they can target exposed nerves, heating and sealing them, so they aren't sensitive anymore. If diseased tissue or pulp is the cause of your tooth sensitivity, your dentist can use a laser to remove the defective parts.

Benefits of Laser Dentistry for Tooth Sensitivity

Laser desensitization offers many benefits for patients experiencing tooth sensitivity. The benefits include:

• Non-invasive procedure: Laser dentistry is a minimally invasive treatment because it only involves a laser, and there is no need for incisions or needles.
• Minimal discomfort: With limited tools involved, patients feel minimal discomfort while undergoing treatment. Using a laser allows precise work, so only the treated areas are affected. Precision also helps make the treatment more effective.
• Longer-lasting results: Laser tooth sensitivity treatment can prolong pain relief longer than traditional methods. While desensitizing toothpaste and fluoride can help you find short-term relief, laser desensitization offers pain relief that can last months at a time and address the root causes.
• No sedation needed: Due to its mild nature, laser therapy doesn't require sedation. Patients can receive treatment without getting an anesthetic injection. If you have dental anxiety, dental laser therapy may be the way to go.

Who is a Good Candidate for Laser Desensitization?

Anyone suffering from chronic tooth sensitivity would benefit from laser desensitization, especially if traditional methods have not worked. Your dentist will evaluate your condition to determine if you are suitable for the treatment.

Some people may be unsuitable for laser desensitization due to having preexisting medical or dental conditions, such as active gum disease.
