Waterlase Dentistry

Children’s Dentistry of Pocatello is the only office in the area that offers Waterlase Dentistry. This advanced laser technology was specifically developed to repair decayed and damaged teeth and treat the gums and other soft tissues without pain or numbness. It’s often used to fix tongue ties, relieve cold sores, and treat cavities. 

Waterlase uses a combination of laser energy, air, and a gentle spray of water to perform procedures without the need for a traditional drill or scalpel. This technique is more precise, comfortable, and convenient than other methods. Children often experience little to no bleeding and swelling, a lower risk of infection, and a reduced chance of thermal damage. They also often don’t need anesthesia due to the lack of discomfort and frightening sounds.

Our office has invested in this technology because we are dedicated to providing our customers with the highest standard of dental care.
