As a BIOLASE mentor, this really helped me remember what I did not feel in my arsenal. Because when you have something in your hands every day, eventually you take it for granted. I like to think of my laser as my problem solver. So, if I was undergoing a Class V repair and was subgingival, that was a problem until I had laser treatment. How do I remove soft tissue? How can I prevent bleeding when I place the composite restoration, so eventually I did not have a pink restoration? Laser solved my problem.
Or, if I have teeth on the gum line, how can I pull my teeth out without having to hand them over to an expert and keep it in practice? If I was under crown-bridge surgery and I knew the bones were close to the edge, what would I do with my laser treatment before I got it? If we were doing a traditional crown extension, before we could make the final fix, we had corrected the bone that left the edge for a long time.
Laser is my solution to the problem. It enabled me to get my immediate goal in less time.
