Many young patients are frightened by the “whirrrr” of the high-speed drill. They’re afraid of the shot that numbs the tooth and surrounding tissue, and the strange feeling of the numbness itself. When it’s time to see the dentist, they’re apprehensive at best, hysterical at worst.

To help ease those fears, Drs. Margolis and Lin now use the Erbium Dental
Laser, an innovation that is revolutionizing dental care. The Laser removes
tooth decay and prepares cavities for filling, often without numbing the
area. Taking fear out of a trip to the dentist means children will develop
better oral hygiene habits that will last their entire lives.

Most patients say the treatment is so comfortable that they feel only water washing away the tooth decay and an occasional sense of warmth as the low-energy Laser does its work.
