Solea makes treating cavities more comfortable than ever. The laser’s light energy removes decay without physical contact, vibration, or pressure — so most children don’t need anesthesia. This means no scary needles or post-treatment numbness. The laser also sterilizes the area as it works, reducing the risk of infection and helping surrounding enamel become more resistant to future cavities. It’s a faster, easier way to keep your child’s smile healthy.

A tight or short frenulum (lip or tongue tie) can interfere with eating, speaking, or oral development. With Solea, we can gently release this tissue in seconds — with no bleeding, no sutures, and minimal discomfort. This quick, precise procedure allows for easier feeding in infants and improved speech and comfort in older children. Most kids recover in just a day or two, and many experience immediate improvements in mobility.

If your child has developed a bump inside their lower lip — likely a mucocele — laser treatment offers a fast and gentle solution. These cysts form when a salivary gland becomes blocked, usually after a minor lip injury. The Solea laser allows us to remove the cyst without numbing or stitches, and most children recover quickly with minimal discomfort. There’s little to no bleeding, and the treatment usually takes only a few minutes.

Benign tissue overgrowths (fibromas) can be safely and precisely removed with the Solea laser. These “tissue tags” are typically caused by repeated irritation in the mouth and can sometimes affect speech or chewing. Laser removal is quick, gentle, and doesn’t require cutting, sutures, or long healing times. We also eliminate the need for local anesthetic in most cases, which keeps appointments stress-free for children and parents alike.

When gums become inflamed or infected, laser therapy can be used during cleanings to reduce harmful bacteria beneath the gumline. This improves gum health, reduces bleeding, and helps prevent periodontal problems down the road — all without discomfort. It’s especially helpful for teens struggling with early signs of gingivitis or for kids with braces. Laser bacterial reduction is painless, fast, and enhances the results of your child’s routine cleaning.
