A Look at Waterlase Technology

Last updated 10 months ago

To create a comfortable dental experience for our young patients, Ashburn’s Children’s Dentistry has incorporated state-of-the-art laser technology into our office’s standard operating procedures. That means our patients are not subjected to painful drilling or unnecessary anesthesia. Thanks to Waterlase laser technology, our patients can receive the children’s dental treatments they need in a comfortable and timely manner.

Increased Comfort

Waterlase technology uses a special combination of laser and water application to remove decay in a safe and pain-free way. This procedure gently and quickly etches through the teeth without the use of a drill, which means no more anesthetic needle injections to the lips and gums. Using Waterlase reduces bleeding, swelling, and post-procedure pain. Plus, this technology reduces the time children are required to sit in the dentist’s chair.

Increased Safety

According to the American Dental Association, laser technology is now a commonly used practice that is completely safe for children. All laser equipment on today’s market must be approved by the Food and Drug Administration before being used in a children’s dentist’s office.
