Could laser cavity removal hurt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on severity: The bigger the cavity, the closer the infected tooth tissue is to the nerve of the tooth, the greater the risk for discomfort. Your dentist is skilled in anesthesia and in selecting the best decay removal mechanism. Talk it over with your dentist.
