Drill Free Dentists – Tooth Repair Without Fear and Discomfort

For a long time, the thought of pain free dentistry has been nothing more than a dream for many people. In fact, a large number of people will put off going to the dentist due to the painful dental procedures that are often necessary. If asked, most people would return to the dentist only if they could be guaranteed that drill free dentists would be working. The time has come when those people can look forward to visiting dentists without the fear of painful dental treatments with the introduction of the Waterlase Hydrokinetic YSGG laser system.

A drill free dentist might sound like an impossible thing, but there are a number of dentists who recognize the appeal of treating patients without using a drill, needles or other equipment associated with dental work and are using the Waterlase Hydrokinetic YSGG laser system. The Waterlase Hydrokinetic YSGG laser system isn’t a form of alternative medicine or an illusory tool. In fact, the Food and Drug Administration recognizes the Waterlase Hydrokinetic YSGG laser as an acceptable tool for carving hard dental tissues like decayed areas in a tooth, enamel and the bone surrounding the pulp cavity of a tooth.

The way the Waterlase Hydrokinetic YSGG laser system works is by using hydrokinetic energy made by discharging laser energy into a fast current of atomized water. Dentists or orthodontists can then use the water to cut through hard surfaces and tissue in the mouth without resorting to the traditional drill that often requires anesthesia and leaves a patient in discomfort. The pain associated with a drill is made by the heat caused by friction. There is no heat associated with the hydrokinetic cutting and dental procedures can be virtually pain free.

The benefits of using the Waterlase Hydrokinetic YSGG laser system far outweigh using a traditional dental drill. Patients often do not require the use of anesthesia with the Waterlase system and it can work through all of the parts in a person’s mouth quite fast. When used properly by dentists or orthodontists, the Waterlase system often causes little or no bleeding even when working on soft tissue. The Waterlase Hydrokinetic YSGG laser system is the most advanced alternative to drills in the field of dentistry and has the potential to draw in new patients for much needed dental work.
