The nature of blue light in teeth

> Dental clients often ask us about the blue ray that is directed towards their teeth and even worry about the harm of this ray... Some people confuse this ray with laser ray... The blue ray used in dentistry is in the range of visible light. An eye disease that is more common in people who are exposed to a lot of sunlight... In the long run, blue dental radiation may increase the risk of cataracts... Of course, because the direction of the beam is always towards the inside of the mouth, it usually does not reach your eyes... But because the dentist and dental assistant have to look at the place of radiation, they use orange-colored rays that damage their teeth or protect their glasses... Some of the dental material in your teeth starts to harden. It is used... in more scientific terms, it starts to polymerize these materials... Actually, with the radiation of this radiation, chemical reactions are created in some materials. Refrain from eating for a certain period of time. The device used to create this type of blue ray is called the Light Cure device. It is made but it has two main types... the halogen type and the LED type, which is newer... the Light Cure device is also used for teeth whitening treatment... the Light Cure device is a different device from the laser... but many treatments are also performed with this device... of course, the laser device has very diverse and wider applications in dentistry, and new aspects of the use of laser technology in dentistry are introduced every day. It is possible... there are also composites that are set (hardened) without using this device... In orthodontics, sometimes for gluing orthodontic tools such as brackets, light is an important material that is used to strengthen... The blue light of any of these dental devices does not pose any danger to us, it is a type of visible (cold) light and therefore it is not a laser beam!
