Laser Dentistry for Children

Laser dentistry has revolutionized children’s dentistry, and one of the leaders of this movement in the Colorado Springs region is Bill Thompson, DDS. Laser dentistry reduces anxiety in patients by eliminating the use of the dental drill. Dr. Bill Thompson utilizes the Waterlase Laser, which has greater accuracy and safety by casting a cloud of warm water vapor around the laser’s point. The best part is that the laser never gets hot so laser dentistry is virtually pain-free, eliminating the need for any anesthetic or sedative (no shots!). Laser dentistry can be used for a variety of dental procedures such as fillings, root canals and cosmetic gum recontouring and reshaping.

For Dr. Bill Thompson, the best thing about laser dentistry is that the kids love it, especially for those who are allergic to anesthetic or were already on medication that could interact with anesthetic. Without the initial fear of dentists, Dr. Thompson’s patients will grow up with a greater appreciation of dentists. Most adults who neglect going to the dentist often do so out of fear and anxiety they have harbored from dental visits as children. With Laser Dentistry, the fear is reduced at a young age, which will encourage a more conscious desire to maintain healthy teeth and gums. We want what you want: the best care possible for your children.
