A new dentist just set up shop in our neck of the woods who advertises Waterlase laser dentistry.

I have what I"m pretty sure is a cavity. It's under an old filling that I had replaced about 2 years ago, because at that time there was a little decay under the filling. Well, it was pretty much like having the Three Stooges put a filling in your tooth.

It remained sensitive afterwards, but was a bit better. But now it has suddenly gotten a lot more sensitive.

And no need to scold me, I know two years is too long between visits, but I was pregnant and breastfeeding so I didn't want to go. I'm stil breastfeeding actually, but I guess my hand has been forced.

So, is this laser dentistry worth while? Is it still too new? Way too expensive? Let me know!

Our kids' dentist uses it. I haven't had it done on me, yet, but geez, I love it for them. They get nitrous, but need no novocaine. They are in and out FAST, and have no pain afterwards. From my POV, it looks like a miracle.

I ... uh ... haven't been myself in more than two years.
