I’m often asked how cold laser therapy can be used in dental applications. Here are some of the different ways cold laser can be used for teeth, gums, TMJ etc
1. Pain Reduction: Cold laser therapy helps alleviate pain from dental procedures, tooth sensitivity, or conditions like temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders by reducing inflammation and stimulating the release of endorphins.
2. Accelerated Healing: It promotes tissue regeneration and wound healing by stimulating cellular activity, increasing blood flow, and enhancing collagen production. This is beneficial for post-surgical recovery, gum tissue repair, and healing oral ulcers or lesions.
3. Reduced Inflammation: The therapy reduces swelling and inflammation in conditions like gingivitis, periodontitis, or post-extraction sites by modulating inflammatory responses.
4. Non-Invasive and Safe: Cold laser therapy is painless, non-thermal, and does not require incisions or anesthesia, making it a safe option with minimal side effects for most patients.
5. Antimicrobial Effects: It can help reduce bacterial load in the oral cavity, aiding in the treatment of infections or periodontal diseases by promoting a cleaner healing environment.
6. Improved Nerve Regeneration: The therapy supports nerve repair, which can be useful in cases of dental nerve damage or paresthesia following procedures.
7. Enhanced Orthodontic Treatment: Cold laser therapy can reduce discomfort during orthodontic adjustments and may accelerate tooth movement by stimulating bone remodeling.
8. Management of Oral Conditions: It’s effective for treating conditions like oral mucositis (common in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy), canker sores, and herpes labialis by reducing pain and speeding recovery.
9. Minimally Invasive Alternative: It provides a less invasive option compared to traditional treatments, reducing the need for medications or more aggressive interventions.
10. Improved Patient Comfort: Patients often report less discomfort during and after treatment, making it a patient-friendly option for dental care.
We recommend the LTP-100IR cold laser for dental applications:

808nm 150mw Laser This LTP-100IR is used and recommended by chiropractors, physical therapists, and acupuncturists. This is also referred to as low level laser therapy or photobiomodulation. This laser has 150mw of output power for faster treatment times. The INFRARED 808nm wavelength provides a gre...
