Photobiomodulation in Dentistry

Photobiomodulation (PBM) is revolutionizing dental care by using therapeutic light to accelerate healing, relieve pain, and reduce inflammation-all without drugs or invasive procedures. This cutting-edge technique harnesses low-level lasers or LEDs to energize cells, boost circulation, and enhance tissue regeneration. In dentistry, PBM offers impressive results in managing oral mucositis, accelerating post-surgical recovery, easing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain, and supporting periodontal therapy. Its precision, safety, and comfort make it ideal for patients of all ages. As science uncovers more of its benefits, PBM is emerging as a must-have tool in modern dental practice-combining innovation and biology to create brighter, faster, and more comfortable healing journeys for patients. Light isn't just for seeing-it's for healing, too.
