Welcome to Sprout Pediatric Dentistry in Lowell, Arkansas, where we practice a more comfortable and practical approach to dental care for children if needed: Pediatric Laser Dentistry. Our commitment to innovative technologies and patient comfort is evident in our state-of-the-art Waterlase erbium all-tissue laser, a breakthrough in pediatric dental care.
What is Pediatric Laser Dentistry?
Pediatric Laser Dentistry utilizes laser technology for various dental procedures, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional methods. At Sprout Pediatric Dentistry, we’ve embraced this advanced technology to ensure your child receives the best dental care with minimal discomfort—having said that, there is a good chance that your child may never be treated with a dental laser. However, if they do, Dr. Amanda and her team have extensive experience using this dental tech.
The Waterlase Erbium All-Tissue Laser
Our office is equipped with the Waterlase Erbium all-tissue laser, a cutting-edge tool (no pun intended) designed for precision and gentleness. This laser technology is often used for soft tissue procedures, such as revising lip or tongue ties, which are common issues in young children. But that’s not all; it’s also effective for specific restorative procedures, like fillings.
Benefits of Laser Dentistry in Pediatric Care
1. Minimizes Discomfort:
One of the most significant advantages of laser dentistry is its ability to reduce pain and discomfort during procedures. This is especially beneficial for children who may have dental anxiety. Dentists used to use drills, which are loud, uncomfortable, and produce unpleasant odors; dental lasers do away with most of those treatment issues.
2. Reduces Need for Anesthesia:
Traditional dental procedures often require anesthesia or “shots,” which can be daunting for children and parents. Laser dentistry dramatically reduces the need for anesthesia, making dental visits less stressful. Nobody likes local injections or being put under, and dental lasers give Dr. Amanda the option not to have your child go through those potential stressors.
3. Less Invasive:
Lasers are less invasive than conventional dental tools. This means less trauma to the oral tissues, leading to quicker recovery times and a treatment that generates far less anxiety in the patient.
4. Promotes Sterility:
Laser dentistry promotes a sterile environment in the oral cavity, reducing the risk of infection and complications post-treatment. Dr. Amanda and her team have a stellar reputation for using best practices to minimize complications from treatment, so you and your child have nothing to worry about going into a procedure!
5. Precise and Efficient:
Lasers allow for greater precision in dental procedures, ensuring effective treatment and preserving a healthy tooth structure.
Who Can Benefit from Pediatric Laser Dentistry?
Pediatric Laser Dentistry is suitable for a wide range of patients, particularly those requiring soft tissue procedures or restorative treatments like fillings. It’s an excellent option for children nervous about dental visits, offering a more comfortable and less intimidating experience.
