The CDC (Center for Disease Control) again
declared a health alert about gingivitis (infected and/or bleeding gums.)
"Gingivitis is responsible for 20% of heart attacks, strokes and diabetes", a
staggering number. Now, it has been found to be a significant cause of
pancreatic cancer". This is why some people live 6 to 7 years longer if they
have healthy gums.

|  | The Waterlase™ uses HydroKinetic® technology to perform a variety of dental procedures, including cavity preparation, caries removal, tooth etching and a wide range of soft tissue (gum) procedures. - Because it does not cause heat or vibration in the mouth, Waterlase™ may ease the pain and anxiety of patients who fear the vibration and high-pitched whine of traditional drills. In contrast, the Waterlase™ makes a gentle "tapping" noise.
- Waterlase™ uses a cool-water spray to cut teeth without generating heat. Conventional drills can overheat teeth during procedures, inducing discomfort and irreversibly damaging the soft tissue or pulp underneath.
|
|  | - The Waterlase™ system uses laser-energized water to cut teeth.
- The Waterlase™ emits a laser beam that energizes a highly precise spray of air and water.
- Water droplets absorb the laser energy and become laser-energized water particles that, when directed at the tooth, removes enamel, dentin and decay/caries.
