Manual soft nylon bristle brushes are the most dependable and least expensive. Electric brushes are also a good option, but don't reach any further into the pocket than manual brushes. Wooden tooth picks and rubber tips should only be used if recommended by your dentist. With the new dental laser, we can provide you with superior treatment. It's simply a beam of highly concentrated light delivered in short pulses through a flexible optical fiber.
Most patients find laser procedures remarkably comfortable.
People who have experienced laser treatment report feeling nothing more than the touch of the handpiece and an occasional slight sensation of warmth. Your dentist can demonstrate its safety by shining the laser beam on your hand. As you will see, several seconds will pass before you even feel any warmth. This is because the dental laser does its work with no more than three watts of power. A recommended precaution during laser treatment is that the dental team and patient wear protective eyeglasses to filter out the laser beam.
