Dental Laser Therapy is a painless procedure that modern dentists have started using in their clinics in recent years. The Laser technology is known as low level laser therapy or cold laser therapy. This type of laser is much different than the well know dental surgical lasers that many dentists are already using regularly. The low level laser (LLLT) is used only for therapeutic procedures in dentistry. This type of laser does not produce any heat so the patient is comfortable and feels nothing.
