Grand Rapids Dentist Offers Pain-free Dentistry With Laser Technology

Dr. Bradley A. Dykstra, Grand Rapids general dentist, enhances patient care with laser dentistry.

2013-05-26
GRAND RAPIDS, MI, May 26, 2013 (Press-News.org) Leading general dentist in Grand Rapids, Dr. Bradley Dykstra, is pleased to offer his patients increased comfort during dental procedures with the recent advancement in dental health care - laser dentistry. Through laser dentistry, Dr. Dykstra is able to offer patients pain free laser procedures with no anesthesia necessary.

"As a leader in laser dentistry, I am proud to offer my patients a more comfortable experience during treatment. Laser dentistry allows me to treat my patients without the traditional drill, making their experience more pleasant and comfortable," said Dr. Dykstra, Grand Rapids dentist.

Dr. Dykstra utilizes Grand Rapids laser dentistry to treat an array of patients. Waterlase dentistry uses laser energy and a gentle spray of water to perform a wide range of dental procedures, including crown lengthening for "gummy smiles" and for teeth whitening in Grand Rapids. Without the heat, vibration and pressure associated with the dental drill, Waterlase dentistry makes it possible to use less anesthetic, and sometimes even no anesthetic at all during treatments.

Lasers have been the standard of care in medicine for many surgical and cosmetic procedures for some time. Waterlase was approved for hard tissue procedures in 1998 and has since been approved for numerous other dental procedures. Thousands of dentists around the world have performed an array of procedures with Waterlase with less need for shots, anesthesia, drills and post-op numb lips.

Children have benefitted from Waterlase as well, as it reduces trauma and eliminates fear that is commonly associated with traditional dental drills. Dr. Dykstra is able to remove tooth enamel decay, and bone and gum tissue precisely while leaving surrounding areas unaffected.

How do cold ions slide?

2013-05-25
Things not always run smoothly. It may happen, actually, that when an object slides on another, the advancement may occur through a 'stop and go' series in the characteristic manner which scientists call "stick-slip", a pervasive phenomenon at every scale, from earthquakes to daily-life objects, up to the "nano" dimension. Davide Mandelli, Andrea Vanossi and Erio Tosatti of the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) of Trieste have studied the conditions in which at the nanoscopic level the switch from smooth sliding to stick-slip regime occurs, simulating ...

The findings, published in the American Journal of Human Genetics, may lead to new treatment options for this debilitating disease, for which the only current treatment option is repeated surgical removal of the tumors. IM is an inheritied disorder that develops in infancy or even in utero and tumors ...

Driving and hands-free talking lead to spike in errors: UAlberta study

2013-05-25
Talking on a hands-free device while behind the wheel can lead to a sharp increase in errors that could imperil other drivers on the road, according to new research from the University of Alberta. A pilot study by Yagesh Bhambhani, a professor in the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine, and his graduate student Mayank Rehani, showed that drivers who talk using a hands-free cellular device made significantly more driving errors—such as crossing the centre line, speeding and changing lanes without signalling—compared with just driving alone. The jump in errors also corresponded ...
