Abstract

Pediatric dentistry's mission in delivering care to our young patients is simple: provide optimal preventive, interceptive, and restorative dental care in a stress-free environment. Lasers such as argon, diode, Nd:YAG, CO2, and now the erbium family enable minimally invasive dentistry for hard- and soft-tissue procedures. This article offers an understanding of treatment planning in the pediatric practice and demonstrates the procedures that dental lasers can perform on younger patients.
