Q:Are dental lasers beneficial for fixing cavities?
A:Prior to laser dentistry, a drill would always be required to prepare the tooth for a filling. Lasers can often eliminate the need for using a drill and even anesthesia. However, if a tooth already has a filling some drilling may be needed to remove it.
