What is laser dentistry ?

Light is composed of many wavelengths and it spreads out as we get further from the source. A laser is a source of light that is highly collimated so it does not spread but remains highly focused and is a point. Also, white light is made up of all of the colors of the spectrum but lasers can be a single wavelength or color. That means it will be absorbed into different tissues and can cause intense heat for a tiny fraction of a second. That heat, which is not necessarily felt by the patient  due to the short exposure, it what does the treatment. Laser Dentist in Jerusalem, Dr Ari Greenspan can help.
