Laser curettage treatment is a technique thought about fundamentally for the treatment of periodontal problems. It is a successful method for eliminating a group of various bacteria existing in little pockets situated at the foundation of teeth. This particular treatment uses lasers to venture into those places that are difficult to arrive at, while additionally assisting with kicking off the healing system and guaranteeing healthy teeth and gums.

On the off chance that the doctor is working on hard tissues, erbium-based lasers will be used to cut through the structures easily with its increased wavelength. 

Performing laser curettage requires the utilisation of specific types of glasses or goggles to try not to hurt the eyes because of the bright laser beam. Based upon the degree of the contamination and decay issues, the procedure might keep going for about an hour.
