Soft Tissue Laser
The Soft Tissue Laser is a device that can be used to remove extra gum tissue. The big advantage of the laser is that it is so gentle that no injections are typically necessary to remove excess gum tissue.
Potential uses of the soft tissue laser are:
1. Uncover teeth that are delayed in coming through the gum tissue.
2. Remove overgrown gum tissue resulting from insufficient brushing and flossing.
3. Esthetic trimming of the gums (if minor) at the end of braces treatment.
