<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Soft-tissue laser dentistry offers many advantages for both patients and providers. Lasers often minimize bleeding and additional swelling after a procedure. They are also more precise than traditional surgical tools, making it easier to provide targeted treatments. Some patients may also experience less pain during a soft-tissue laser procedure versus traditional surgery.</p>
<p>There are also some disadvantages to soft-tissue laser treatments. Procedures with a laser may be more expensive due to the provider's initial cost of the equipment. Additionally, laser therapy is only available for a small number of procedures and not for some common dental treatments, such as removing crowns or filling cavities. It is also imperative that providers follow the recommended practices for <a title="Read more about Laser safety in dental practice" href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/280094187_Laser_safety_in_dental_practice" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Soft-Tissue-Laser-Dentistry">laser safety</a> with their staff members.</p>

<p>Laser dentistry is being incorporated more often in orthodontic treatments. Dental providers can use soft-tissue lasers to help contour gums and reshape them to remove excessive gum tissue. Lasers can also be part of a treatment plan for impacted teeth. The laser allows the tooth to grow more appropriately into the mouth, improving the patient's smile.</p>

<p>After a soft-tissue laser dentistry treatment, patients must follow the post-op care from University Dental Associates. <a title="Read more about What (and How) to Eat When You're Having Dental Issues" href="https://www.mouthhealthy.org/en/nutrition/nutrition-concerns" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Soft-Tissue-Laser-Dentistry">As stated in Mouth Healthy</a>, it may be necessary to stick to a mild or liquid diet for a few days after the surgery. Then, patients may be asked to transition to a soft food diet for a week or two until the mouth or gums are healed.</p>
<p>The areas treated by the laser may feel tender, so it is normal to experience a little soreness. The surgical site may appear grey, red, purple, or other unusual colors while healing. It may also be necessary to avoid brushing and flossing the surgical spot and use a warm saltwater rinse to clean it instead.</p>

<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Different Types of Soft-Tissue Laser Dentistry</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>According to WebMD, there are different types of surgeries that use soft-tissue lasers. Before the surgery, your dental provider will explain the steps of your specific procedure. The most common type of laser used in soft-tissue procedures by dental providers is the diode laser. Here are some examples of what may happen during a soft-tissue laser surgery:</p>
<ul class="bullet-list">
<li><b>Cutting Tissue:</b> If a provider uses a laser instead of a traditional cutting tool for surgery, it is often more precise. For surgeries such as frenum removal, gum reshaping, and periodontal therapy, the laser cuts through the tissue easily. After cutting, bleeding is minimal and improves healing time.</li>
<li><b>Sealing Wounds:</b> Laser therapy can also be used to seal and cauterize surgical cuts. It seals off the blood vessels and capillaries during treatment. This helps reduce swelling after the procedure.</li>
<li><b>Eliminating Bacteria:</b> Some soft-tissue laser procedures may involve the eradication of harmful bacteria. In periodontal treatments, the laser acts as a bacteria eliminator and improves the patient's outcome. The heat generated by the laser and the targeted way it can treat the gums' diseased pockets removes bacteria that cause periodontal complications.</li>
