What is Photobiomodulation?

Photobiomodulation, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is a non-invasive treatment method that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular function and accelerate the body’s natural healing processes. Originally developed for medical applications, PBM has quickly gained recognition in the dental community for its remarkable ability to reduce pain, inflammation, and promote tissue regeneration.

How Does Photobiomodulation Work?

During your treatment at Pearl Street Dental, we’ll use a specialized laser that emits specific wavelengths of light energy that can penetrate deep into your tissues. This light energy is absorbed by the mitochondria in your cells, which are often referred to as the "powerhouses" of the cell. The mitochondria then convert this light energy into chemical energy, stimulating cellular function and improving cell proliferation and repair. These fast and painless treatments can help with everything from cold sore healing and TMJ pain to reducing soreness and healing time after a procedure.

Applications of Photobiomodulation

At Pearl Street Dental, we integrate PBM into various aspects of our practice to provide comprehensive care for our patients. Here are some common applications of PBM in our treatments:

  • Post-Surgical Recovery
  • Managing Oral Lesions
  • TMJ Disorders
  • Periodontal Therapy

 

Benefits of Photobiomodulation in Dental Care

Photobiomodulation offers a myriad of benefits in dental care, making it an excellent adjunctive therapy for various oral health issues. Here are some of the key advantages:

Pain Relief

PBM is highly effective in alleviating pain associated with various dental procedures and conditions. From post-operative discomfort and TMJ disorders to oral ulcers, PBM can help reduce pain and improve your comfort.

Reduced Inflammation

PBM helps to decrease swelling, accelerating the healing process. This is beneficial for patients undergoing periodontal treatments, root canal therapy, or those recovering from oral surgeries.

Enhanced Healing

By stimulating cellular activity, PBM promotes faster tissue repair and regeneration. This means quicker recovery times after dental procedures, allowing you to get back to your daily life sooner.
