Healing is a key part of dental procedures. At DMD Dental, we offer photobiomodulation to promote tissue recovery and reduce inflammation.
What is Photo-biomodulation?
Photobiomodulation, or low-level laser therapy, uses light energy to promote tissue healing. It works by stimulating the mitochondria of the cells to repair and regenerate soft tissue. It uses only light-based energy, which triggers a healing response in the cells, similar to how sunlight promotes vitamin D synthesis.
What are the Benefits of Photobiomodulation?
Photobiomodulation is very gentle and tolerable, and it causes no tissue damage. It’s often recommended to help you heal after your procedure to ensure a better result by reducing inflammation and chances of infection. Finally, it harnesses your body’s inherent ability to repair itself, providing a better and more natural alternative to certain procedures for periodontitis.
What Can I Expect From Photobiomodulation?
Dr. Du Mond will assess your mouth and determine how photobiomodulation can support your oral health. Photobiomodulation produces no side effects or heat – Dr. Du Mond simply applies the light energy to your mouth, and once you’re fully treated, you can go about your day.
The Photobiomodulation Process and Beyond
Photobiomodulation requires no downtime or recovery. You can return to your normal brushing, eating, and drinking habits right away. Dr. Du Mond will check in to assess your results as well as give you an estimate of how often you should return for treatment.
