Dental lasers have become increasingly popular tools in dental practices due to their ability to offer precise and minimally invasive treatment options for various dental procedures. While the exact impact on practice production can vary based on the specific circumstances, there are several ways dental lasers can contribute to improving practice production.

In the ever-evolving field of dentistry, staying ahead of the curve is essential for professionals who strive for excellence in patient care and practice growth. One area that has revolutionized dental treatments is the use of lasers and light-based technology. Laser dentistry offers numerous advantages, from improved clinical outcomes to increased patient satisfaction. If you're looking to take your dental practice to new heights, the ALD Group Laser Certification Program is the perfect opportunity to enhance your skills and expertise in this cutting-edge field.

It's been over 25 years since I became aware that a fire could occur intra-orally.  One of my mentors in implant dentistry shared a story of soldering titanium metal together with Nd:YAG laser. The patient died from a spark that ignited a high-flow oxygen from a nasal canula. Well, at the time I was not interested in dental lasers and felt this could not happen to me. Ten years later, I started doing IV sedation for the comfort of my patients. Going through my coursework, I was again introduced to fires created by an electro-surge. Working now with erbium lasers, I was aware that this laser created sparks. Ten years later, I started doing IV sedation for the comfort of my patients.  Going through my coursework, I was again introduced to fires created by an electro-surge.

In November 2019, as a member of the editorial board of Photobiomodulation, Photomedicine and Laser Surgery, I was asked to write an editorial on the topic of Photobiomodulation Treatment (PBMT) as a possible answer to the opioid crisis. (1) I started using PBMT in my small-town dental practice in 1993 and have eliminated using post-operative opioid prescriptions ever since. In today’s world, you can’t open any newspaper without finding an article on the opioid crisis and so many of addictions started with people being prescribed opiates after dental treatments. In this article, I will discuss the problem and show how PBMT can be a big part of the solution.
