Utilizing Photobiomodulation in Dentistry
Photobiomodulation, or the use of light energy to speed up healing and reduce pain and inflammation, is an underutilized technique in dentistry. Many dentists have lasers in their practices, but they often do not harness the full potential of lasers for photobiomodulation. Educating dentists on the concept and benefits of photobiomodulation can help them understand how light therapy can improve healing and reduce pain in dental procedures. By treating areas affected by weak muscles, lesion development, and post-procedure pain, dentists can enhance patient outcomes and promote faster recovery.
