Times change so does technology. Decades back, who had even imagined that the technology would be as developed as it is today? And this is not the limit. Technology is growing every day at a rapid pace.

Technology has grown, and so, is the use of technology in the medical field. Gone are the days when the surgeries used to painful and the recovery took months. In today’s world, there are surgeries and treatments for most ailments, and life has become much more comfortable.

The dental world is no different from this. If you find out about dental ailments and their treatments a few years back, you’ll be surprised. People used to be afraid to get dental surgery done. And that was quite obvious!

The technology was not as developed as today, and hence the treatments demanded time, money and our patience. Can you imagine getting a root canal done as casually as you get it done today? Probably, no!

Speaking about the technologies, what is the new technology used in the dental world?

A laser-based treatment procedure. Right?

Laser expands to Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. It emits light energy in a narrow and focused beam to accurately target the concerned area.

There are two different ways in which the laser is used: one is for hard tissues and the other for soft tissues.
