Laser is a dramatic word to hear in connection with your own mouth. In a dental setting it refers to something far more measured than the name suggests, used on a small area the dentist has already mapped out.
Let's find a time
It’s understandable if the suggestion of a laser brings science fiction to mind. What a dentist actually works with is focused light energy, applied in a controlled way to a specific piece of gum or other soft tissue that has been selected ahead of time. Nothing about it is sweeping or broad.
Knowing that doesn’t oblige you to want one. A laser only comes up when it might help with your particular procedure, and you can ask every question you like first. Kildonan residents who would like that conversation can have it at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg.

Treatment is confined to tissue that was planned in advance, with no general sweep across the mouth.
You wear protective eyewear, and settings are chosen for the specific procedure being done.
This instrument is picked only where it serves the goal, and you hear those reasons before anything starts.
The name may suggest something powerful and general. In practice, a dental laser is usually discussed for quite particular soft-tissue tasks, once an exam shows it could help.
Your findings and the system available determine which, if any, would apply to your mouth.
Several things need looking at before a dentist would call a laser suitable for someone.
Plenty of treatments never involve a laser at all, because conventional instruments are more suitable for them.
A clear picture often makes something sound less intimidating. You will be told about the planned area, the comfort measures and likely healing before the procedure gets under way.
Request your visitProtective glasses are handed to you, and the site is isolated from surrounding tissue if that’s needed.
Local anesthetic or another measure is selected to fit what’s being done, ahead of any laser use.
Using controlled settings, the dentist applies the laser to the planned spot and leaves everything else alone.
You’re told how to keep the area clean, what to do about eating, what symptoms to expect and when you’re due back.
Odd worries are still worth voicing. A misgiving about heat, light or anything else is easier to deal with once it has been said out loud to the person doing the work.
For questions about fees, ask the clinic for an estimate and check with your own plan about any coverage.

How a procedure feels varies with the area and the work being done, so nobody should promise you an exact experience. What you can count on is being able to tell the dentist how it’s going.
If the unknown bothers you, have the dentist explain what you’re likely to notice in your procedure.
Local anesthetic could well be recommended, so comfort doesn’t rest on the laser alone.
Let the dentist know what you’re feeling, and the procedure can be stopped briefly or adapted.
An ordinary recovery
However futuristic the instrument sounds, the days following are about ordinary healing. Your experience will depend on what was treated, how much was done and how your body responds.
Some tenderness, swelling or short-lived sensitivity can follow, even with focused work.
Symptoms that feel out of proportion or that are getting worse deserve a call to the clinic.
The home-care directions you were given matter here, as does the follow-up set for the treated area.
Stitches aren’t ruled in or out by the instrument, because depth, location and purpose all play a part.

Helpful details about laser dentistry in Kildonan.
Ask our teamDental lasers are used with procedure-specific settings, trained hands and protective eyewear. The dentist also looks at whether the treatment suits you personally before it’s offered.
Your comfort depends on the procedure and the area involved, and local anesthetic may be advised. If you feel anything concerning, say so at once so the dentist can stop or change what is happening.
The whole approach is built around applying energy only to tissue planned beforehand, with controlled settings. You can ask the dentist to show you the intended area when it’s explained to you.
Consent comes before care, and you have the chance to ask questions before treatment starts. Tell the dentist about any hesitation so that other approaches can be discussed.
Not by itself. A laser may be considered for small soft-tissue work as well as for selected gum procedures, and the choice of tool doesn’t tell you how serious a concern is.
Telephone (204) 338-3003 or complete the form on this page, and mention you’d like to talk through the laser before deciding. Any assessment takes place at our McPhillips Street clinic.
Depending on your exam, one of these treatments may come up instead of, or along with, laser use.
