I heard that some dentists use laser. How do I find out if one is in my area?

DENTAL LASERS ARE BECOMING MORE AND MORE POPULAR IN DENTISTRY. THE LASERS YOU ARE SPEAKING OF ARE SOFT TISSUE LASERS. DEPOSITS OF CALCULUS (TARTAR) STILL NEED TO BE REMOVED WITH HAND INSTRUMENTS. TO FIND OUT WHICH DENTISTS HAVE A SOFT TISSUE LASER LOOK IN THE YELLOW PAGES OR CONTACT A DENTAL SUPPLY DEALER TO FIND OUT WHICH DENTISTS NEAR YOU HAVE PURCHASED SOFT TISSUE LASERS. THESE DENTISTS ARE HAPPY TO ADVERTISE THIS SPECIAL SERVICE.

Lasers can be used to remove soft tissue that is diseased, but can not be used to remove tarter (calculus) from the root surface. The best way to find a dentist that uses a laser is to call a local dental supply company and ask which dentists they service that have lasers. They make great referral sources.
