It's quick, it's effective and it's gorgeous, but it's also really effective in back teeth areas where food might be getting stuck or you have somewhere that just hurts or it bleeds a lot when you floss, the CO2 laser is able to get in and shape the gums so that you don't have food traps and plaque traps and those kinds of things.
