Needle-Free Fillings with Waterlase Laser Technology

At Kids Pediatric Dentistry, we understand that many children experience anxiety or fear related to needles. That’s why we are proud to offer needle-free fillings using the advanced Waterlase laser technology when applicable. This innovative approach allows us to treat cavities effectively without the need for traditional anesthesia injections, making the experience easier and much more comfortable for young patients.

How Do Needle-Free Fillings Work?

The Waterlase laser uses a combination of water, air, and laser energy to gently remove decay and prepare the tooth for a filling. Because the process is much less invasive than traditional drilling, it often results in less discomfort and noise, helping children feel more at ease during their appointment. This approach significantly reduces fear and anxiety, encouraging a positive attitude toward dental care from a young age.
