Pediatric Laser Dentistry in Vineland, NJ
Using a special laser designed just for dentistry enables Dr. Bristol-Mártir to offer soft and hard tissue treatment without the need for drills or scalpels. This laser is used to remove decayed tissue from your child’s tooth without the noise and vibration of a dentist’s drill. It can also be used for soft tissue surgery. For example, it can be used to perform a frenectomy, an oral surgery procedure, to correct your child’s tongue-tie.
Because correcting a cavity with a laser causes your child little to no discomfort, Dr. Bristol-Mártir can often avoid using anesthetics before this procedure.
There is very little trauma when a laser is used to remove the decayed part of your child’s tooth. When it is used to treat soft tissue, there is very often no need for sutures afterward. Because of this minimal trauma, it may be possible to provide your child with further treatment in multiple areas of the mouth, all in one visit.
Who Can Be Treated with a Laser?
Dr. Bristol-Mártir will determine if your child is a good candidate for laser dentistry. What is most important in pediatric dentistry is to offer your child the treatment they will be the most comfortable with and that will give them the best result. Please call the office to consult with the doctor or her staff on the suitability of this treatment for your child.
