Dental Techonolgy in Monroe Township

Modern dental treatments and technology have improved by leaps and bounds. Good dentists are striving to make their patients comfortable in all areas of the dental process. One piece of technology that lets the patient see what the dentist sees is the Intra-Oral Camera. This device is a miniature video camera that displays a close-up picture of the inside of your mouth. You can now be a part of the dental team, and be a participant in each dental decision.

Another technology is laser dentistry. What would you say if you could have work done in your mouth without drills and needles? Well, now you can with a revolutionary laser technology known as WaterLase. Previous dental lasers were used primarily for gums or whitening teeth, but WaterLase is used for both gum and tooth procedures. So, how is it painless? Energy from the laser is absorbed by water instead of teeth. These energy rich microscopic water droplets are actually what remove the tooth decay. In many cases, WaterLase replaces the dentist's drill. Thank you dental technology!

Modern Endodontics Can Save Hopeless Teeth

Teeth with damaged or infected roots previously required extraction, which can cause a lot of problems and should be done as a last resort. Endodontists perform a variety of procedures including root canal therapy, surgery, treating cracked teeth, and treating dental trauma. When dental decay reaches the nerve of the tooth (or the tooth has become infected), a simple filling does not suffice. Endodontics can save the tooth by removing the pulp of a tooth and replacing it with a filling material. The pulp of a tooth contains nerves, arterioles, venules, lymphatic tissue, and fibrous tissue. If the pulp becomes diseased or injured, endodontic treatment is required to save the tooth.

The most common procedure, and quite often the most feared, is a root canal. Root canals of the past were quite painful and gained a reputation as something to be avoided. However, with today's modern anesthetics and technology, we can offer treatment that is often painless! You are in good hands with the professionals at Central Jersey Dental.
