Solea: A One-of-a kind Dental Laser:
What makes Solea so special is its versatility and comfort levels. While other dental laser units treat either hard tissues or soft tissues, Solea’s unique wavelength interacts seamlessly with enamel, dentin, bone and soft tissue, delivering outstanding results without noise, discomfort, or bleeding. Solea is the only 9.3 micron CO2 Laser available on the market. Its mirror system, optimized by Galvos, computer-controlled systems, multiple spot sizes and variable-speed foot pedal allow for different functions depending on the tissues being treated.
How Can Solea Deliver Anesthesia-free Dentistry:
Solea pulses at an astounding rate of 1,000 pulses per second. The gate control theory of pain asserts that non-painful input can close nerve “gates” to painful input, which prevents the sensation of pain from reaching the central nervous system. As Solea vaporizes tissues, it overwhelms pain receptors, preventing pain signals from ever reaching the brain. The result is an analgesic effect that allows dental work to be completed without shots, numbness, or pain.
Why We Love Solea
We feel that Solea is like the magic wand of dentistry! We love it because it helps us do what we do best: provide gentle, high-quality, leading-edge care for child and teen clients. Our families love Solea because it prioritizes comfort and offers exceptional dental experiences. Solea dental laser has simply transformed how we practice dentistry making procedures faster, more comfortable, and more precise.

1
Prevention:
Solea possess healing properties that benefits soft and hard tissues. Solea can heal superficial caries and enamel defects by acting on the hydroxyapatite structure which is enhanced when exposed to Solea. Solea also has a photobiomodulation effect on the dental pulp increasing blood supply and healing capacity.

2
Precision Sealants:
Sealants are protective coatings placed in the deep grooves of molars to protect these areas from dental decay. These grooves are tiny bottlenecks that trap food debris and bacteria and are impossible to clean. A sealant seals these grooves and creates a smooth surface that is easy to clean and is impermeable to oral bacteria. Removal of biofilm prior to placing a sealant is important for its success. Solea is the most powerful tool in cleansing tooth structures and eliminating biofilm enhancing the success and duration of dental sealants.

FAQs for Solea Laser Experience:
What does a session with Solea entail?
We tell kids and teenagers that our Solea Laser experience is like going to the dental spa! A beam of sunshine paired with a water bath will clean and revitalize their teeth and mouth. They also get to wear “sunglasses”! This analogy is well-received and helps kids associate the session with something familiar and comfortable. Parents are welcome to sit in on the Solea experience and will also be provided with protective eyeglasses.
How does bypassing local anesthesia happen?
We gently walk kids and teens on what to expect during the Solea experience before the visit. Solea has a water mist that helps with cooling. We explain to our clients that they will be feeling vibrations and a cooling sensation on their tooth. During the initial introduction of Solea, we guide our children and teens through these sensations and ask them to report any excessive sensitivity by raising their hand. Mode, speed and technique are carefully calibrated until complete comfort is achieved. In the rare instance where someone remains sensitive to the care, we can introduce a slight amount of local anesthetic using our computerized delivery system, the STA. However, the majority of treatments are completed completely pain-free and anesthesia-free.
Does my child need sedation during Solea care?
This will depend on the treatment needs. In general, we encourage parents to consider the comforts of our sedation suite. Because Solea is such a gentle instrument, nitrous oxide and oxygen inhalation sedation offers a perfect pairing to achieve a super comfortable experience.
How is Solea delivered to the site of treatment?
Solea’s handpiece has a small tip where the laser beam appears. The small beam can be adjusted in size depending on the treatment area and the specific desired outcome. Solea’s beam precision is a dentist’s dream come true!
🦷✨ Humans used toothpicks before they even learned to write!
Archaeologists found toothpick marks on hominin fossils nearly two million years old. Early humans used twigs or bone splinters to clean between teeth long before civilization. Over centuries, gold and ivory versions became symbols of refinement, proving oral care is one of humanity’s oldest habits. 🌿🦷💫
Even ancient humans understood that keeping teeth clean mattered. While oral care tools have evolved over time, healthy smiles have always been important across human history. 😊🌎🪥

Tooth enamel is the strongest material in the human body 🦷✨
It is even stronger than bone and is made primarily of tightly packed mineral crystals called hydroxyapatite. This structure allows enamel to handle constant chewing forces and daily wear.
But here’s something important to understand.
Teeth do not regenerate the way bone or skin does. However, they do have a natural repair process called remineralization 🌿
When enamel begins to weaken in its early stages, minerals like calcium and phosphate, often supported by fluoride, can redeposit into the tooth surface and strengthen it again.
This process happens through saliva and healthy habits, especially when the mouth is given time to recover between meals 💧
If damage progresses too far, though, the body cannot rebuild that lost structure on its own.
At Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, Dr. Reem and her team focus on prevention and early care to support this natural repair process and keep enamel strong throughout childhood into adulthood🌟

🦷🌙 Why do 15–20% of teens and children wake up with tooth and joint pain?
About one in five kids grind their teeth at night — a habit called bruxism. It’s often triggered by stress, growth changes, or poor sleep posture. Night grinding quietly wears enamel, causes jaw soreness, and leads to micro-fractures that weaken teeth over time. Our custom-printed night guard cushions the bite, relaxes facial muscles, and breaks this cycle. Healthy smiles protected through the night! 😴✨🪥💤💛
Bruxism can go unnoticed for long periods because it happens during sleep. Over time, this repeated pressure places strain on teeth and jaw joints, which may affect comfort and long-term dental health. Early evaluation allows for gentle intervention and helps protect growing smiles before more significant wear develops. 🌱😊

Your child’s mouth has its own natural repair system 💧🦷
Saliva does much more than keep the mouth moist. It constantly helps protect teeth throughout the day.
After eating, bacteria produce acids that temporarily weaken tooth enamel. Saliva helps neutralize those acids and delivers minerals like calcium and phosphate that strengthen enamel again ✨.
This process is called remineralization.
Encouraging children to drink water between meals helps saliva work even better by rinsing away food particles and restoring balance in the mouth 🚰.
At Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, helping families understand natural protection inside the mouth supports healthy smiles 🌈.

🦷🥤 Why does soda melt teeth faster than candy?
Soft drinks and sports beverages contain citric and phosphoric acids that slowly dissolve tooth enamel. Even sugar-free versions cause damage through carbonation and acidity. By skipping them, saliva begins restoring lost minerals, strengthening enamel, and reversing early erosion naturally. One small change protects every beautiful smile for life. ✨💧🪥😊
Acid exposure softens enamel over time, making teeth more vulnerable to wear and sensitivity. When these drinks are reduced or avoided, the mouth can return to a healthier balance. Saliva plays a powerful role in repairing early damage and helping teeth stay strong and resilient. 🌱🦷

Baby teeth are tiny guides for future adult teeth 🦷✨
Many people think baby teeth are not very important because they eventually fall out. In reality, they play a critical role in guiding permanent teeth into the right position.
Each baby tooth holds space for the adult tooth developing beneath it 🌱.
If a baby tooth is lost too early, nearby teeth may shift into that open space. When this happens, permanent teeth may not have enough room to erupt properly.
Protecting baby teeth helps ensure adult teeth have the space they need to grow naturally and align correctly 🌟.
At Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, prevention and early care help support healthy dental development for every child.

🦷👍 Can children’s thumb-sucking actually change the shape of their facial bones?
Prolonged sucking pressure can reshape the palate and push the upper jaw forward. But this doesn’t happen in every child that has a sucking habit. It’s like going to the gym. Some people get more out of their workouts than others. Stopping the habit can be challenging so a gentle approach is best. Talk to us about how we can support this process so that you and your child are confident, happy and sucking habit-free. 😊🌸🪥✨
Every child responds differently to habits like thumb-sucking. Factors such as intensity, frequency, and duration all influence how teeth and jaws develop over time. With the right guidance and supportive strategies, children can transition away from the habit in a positive and encouraging way. 🌱💛
