Yes, laser dentistry is safe for kids. Children can receive comfortable, nearly pain-free dental care with advanced laser technology, making visits easier for both kids and parents. At Little Bytes Pediatric Dentistry, we use the Solea dental laser to provide safe and painless pediatric dental services for families throughout Palo Alto.
Dental lasers have been part of pediatric dentistry since the 1970s, treating both hard and soft tissue conditions. The first dental laser designed specifically for clinical use was introduced in 1987 and received FDA approval in 1990. Since then, professional policies have been established to guide the use of laser dentistry in pediatric patients, confirming its benefits and applications for children of all ages.
Our team uses the Solea dental laser, a cutting-edge tool designed for various dental procedures. The Solea laser can remove or reshape tissue and enamel with precision, making it safe for all types of teeth, including those with existing restorations. This technology allows our pediatric dentists to treat multiple areas of the mouth during a single visit, reducing the total time your child spends in the dental chair.
Laser dentistry is considered very safe for pediatric patients, supported by numerous studies confirming its effectiveness and safety profile. Before any dental treatment, we discuss all options with you to determine the best approach for your child’s specific needs. Our pediatric dental laser in Palo Alto helps create positive experiences for children. The treatment is nearly pain-free, often eliminating the need for anesthetic injections. Without loud drilling sounds, children feel more relaxed and comfortable throughout their visit. According to the American Dental Association, nitrous oxide is a safe and effective sedative option mixed with oxygen, which we may use alongside laser treatment for anxious children who need extra comfort.
