Low Level Laser Therapy

Accelerate Healing and Relieve Dental Pain Naturally

Dufour Dental Hygiene is committed to offering advanced, evidence-based treatments that support your overall health and comfort. Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) — also known as Photobiomodulation Therapy — is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that promotes faster healing, reduces inflammation, and provides relief from both acute and chronic dental pain.

What is Low Level Laser Therapy (Photobiomodulation)?

Photobiomodulation Therapy involves the application of low-intensity laser light over targeted areas of the mouth, such as trauma sites, inflamed tissues, or lesions.
The laser light stimulates the cells, encouraging natural healing processes at the cellular level without causing heat or damage.

This therapy is particularly effective in:

  • Enhancing soft tissue repair
  • Reducing swelling and inflammation
  • Managing acute and chronic dental pain
  • Promoting wound healing after dental procedures

Benefits of Low Level Laser Therapy

Pain Reduction

Provides immediate and lasting relief for various types of dental pain.

Faster Healing

Accelerates the repair of soft tissues after procedures such as cleanings, periodontal therapy, and oral surgeries.

Reduced Inflammation

Minimizes swelling and inflammation associated with gum disease, infections, or trauma.

Non-Invasive and Painless

The procedure is completely safe, comfortable, and does not involve medication or anesthesia.

Supports Overall Oral Health

By promoting better healing and reducing inflammation, it helps maintain healthier gums and tissues.

Common Uses of Low Level Laser Therapy in Dental Care

  • Reducing pain and discomfort after dental cleanings or deep scaling
  • Managing symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ/TMD)
  • Treating cold sores or mouth ulcers
  • Reducing swelling following dental surgeries or extractions
  • Promoting healing in cases of oral infections or trauma
  • Easing discomfort caused by orthodontic adjustments

What to Expect During Treatment

Low Level Laser Therapy sessions are quick, gentle, and painless:

  • The targeted area is exposed to the laser light for a short period, usually just a few minutes.
  • Most clients report a soothing, warm sensation or no sensation at all during the procedure.
  • No downtime is required — you can resume your normal activities immediately after treatment.

Depending on your condition, a series of treatments may be recommended for optimal results.
