What Is Pet Dental Laser Therapy?

Pet dental laser therapy is a non-invasive, painless treatment that uses a low-level laser to target the gums and teeth. The laser energy helps reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain while promoting healing.

How Does Pet Dental Laser Therapy Work?

Our dental technician will use a handheld laser device during treatment over your pet's gums. The low-level lasers penetrate the tissue to reduce inflammation and pain while promoting recovery. The entire procedure is quick and easy and performed while the pet is under anesthesia.

Pet laser therapy reduces pain and swelling after dental procedures, such as teeth cleaning or extractions. In addition, pet laser therapy can help speed up the healing process after oral surgery.

What Are the Risks of Pet Dental Laser Therapy?

Pet dental laser therapy is a safe procedure with few risks. Because this is a "cold" laser we rarely see side effects. On occasion we may see temporary mild redness or swelling of the gums, which resolves within a few days.
