Is Laser Treatment Possible for Sensitive Teeth?

In pigmentation treatments, anaesthesia is either not required or used very little.
How to Treat Gum Disease with Laser?
Gum disease is a serious problem that often goes unnoticed but can lead to tooth loss if not treated in time. Inflammation that starts at the gum line can progress and turn into periodontitis. At this point, laser-assisted treatment methods, which are a more comfortable alternative to traditional treatments, come to the fore.
The Role of Laser Technology in Periodontal Disease
Thanks to laser technology, gum treatment can now be performed more comfortably, quickly and without bleeding. The laser beam applied directly to the infected area targets only bacteria and inflamed areas without damaging healthy tissues.
The biggest advantage of this method is that classical surgical procedures are not needed. There are no incisions, no stitches and the recovery time is very short.
Why is Gum Disease Important?
Gum diseases affect not only oral health but also overall health. If not detected and treated in the early stages, they can lead to:
- Gum recession,
- Tooth mobility,
- Bone loss,
- Tooth loss.
For this reason, early-stage gum inflammation detected during routine dental check-ups can be easily treated with laser therapy.
Who is Laser Assisted Treatment Suitable for?
- Those with gum inflammation (gingivitis)
- Patients in the early stages of periodontitis
- Individuals who are afraid of surgical procedures
- Diabetic patients (with a higher risk of bleeding)
- Individuals using blood thinners
Laser treatment offers a safer and more comfortable option for these patients.
What Should Be Considered After Laser Assisted Dental Treatment?
The healing process after laser-assisted dental treatment is generally fast and comfortable; however, certain precautions must be taken to ensure smooth recovery. For the first 24 hours after the procedure, very hot or very cold foods should be avoided, and hard foods should not be consumed.
Since laser treatment does not damage the tissue, stitches are usually not needed, which makes the healing process easier. Additionally, oral hygiene should be carefully maintained, and the dentist’s post-treatment instructions must be followed closely. Avoiding smoking and alcohol, which can delay healing, will increase the success of the treatment.
