Are Dental Lasers Safe?

It has been shown that dental lasers are safe for both children and adults.

Many of the lasers for dentistry are similar or identical in design to other medical lasers that have been used successfully for years in the specialties of ophthalmology, neurosurgery, Ear/Nose/Throat (ENT), and dermatology.
