Nampa Dental Health Center

Our office is equipped with the Waterlase - a breakthrough in laser dentistry! In the hands of your trained dentist, the Waterlase is a safe medical device. The laser provides pinpoint accuracy, reducing the chance of causing damage to healthy tissues.

Waterlase dentistry can be effectively used when doing dental surgeries, not to cut the teeth as it is kind of slow, but to produce cauterization so there is less bleeding.

As outline by Jerry Massimei, It is now also being used somewhat effectively for the treatment of periodontal disease, where the laser beam actually burns away the tartar, cauterizes the tissue and allows healing to be initiated. If there is a deep periodontal pocket alongside of the tooth due to detachment of the bone and soft tissues to the root surface because of periodontitis, the laser helps to a degree that the deep pocket will heal and be reduced in depth so that it is easier to maintain in a healthy state.
