My husband is not a fan of going to the dentist. When he was younger he had a few bad experiences in the dental chair including unnecessary pain during exams and cleanings, which lead him to avoid or postpone appointments.
A few years ago, a visit to Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, a painless dentist in Los Angeles, began to change his mind about dentists and dental care. “From the time I walked in the door, I realized Dr. Maddahi’s office was different. He and his staff went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and relaxed. They explained each procedure, letting me know if there would be any pain, which there never was.”
State-of-the-art dental technology has advanced to such an extent that procedures that were once painful are now gentle and painless, making visits to the dentist easier than ever.
For example, Dr. Maddahi recently began using the Waterlase MD Turbo, a cool laser that can be used for periodontal issues, re-contouring gums, drilling cavities and other dental procedures. Unlike a traditional dental drill, the laser drill does not cause vibration or generate heat, so soft tissue damage like swelling and bleeding is minimized and less anesthesia is needed.
When combined with other advanced dental technologies like DIAGNOdent, a laser system used to detect decayed areas deep below the surface of the tooth, and mini cameras, which gives Dr. Maddahi and his staff a close up look in the mouth.
With tools like DIAGNOdent, mini cameras and the Waterlase MD, Dr. Maddahi is able to conduct thorough examinations and detect areas of decay at its earliest stage, allowing for fast and gentle removal.
