Introducing Laser Dentistry at Financial District Dental (How Excited Are We?!)

Dr. Raymond Hahn and his team at Financial District DentalCare have recently acquired an NV Microlaser, a pen-sized, powerful laser that can benefit patients in many ways.  Its many uses include:
  1. Desensitizing temperature-sensitive teeth: If you are someone who avoids ice cream or ice water, then this simple but effective treatment will change your life!  Dr. Hahn’s new laser can permanently and painlessly desensitize teeth.  Patients have remarked that their sensitivity has decreased (on a scale of 1 to 10) from 10 to “about a 1 or 2” and they are now enjoying ice cream like never before (but remember that ice water is better for you)!
  2. Treating cold sores/fever blisters: If you’ve ever had the viral cold sores that appear on your lips, our powerful new laser can actually PREVENT them from ever appearing!  Patients who get fever blisters say that they feel a burning or tingling a day or two before the lesion appears, and it is at THIS stage that painlessly lasing the area can completely prevent them from developing.  Even if the lesion has appeared, lasing it can greatly shorten the duration of the sore, but still best to call us when you start to feel the tingle!
  3.  Treating painful aphthous ulcers: Those small aphthous ulcers inside the mouth are an auto-immune response to stress, trauma, or spicy foods, and can be very painful!  Lasing these small lesions can completely eliminate the pain and help the lesions to heal MUCH faster!

Besides reducing discomfort, embarrassment, and pain in the preceding examples, our new NV Microlaser also has many other uses: assisting us with getting perfect impressions for crowns, enhancing smiles with gum lifts, and even assisting our hygiene team (stay tuned!) with taking better care of their periodontal patients!


Here at Financial District Dental, Dr. Hahn and his team are always seeking new treatment protocols and the latest equipment to make dentistry more effective, easier, and more enjoyable!
