Laser for cleaning the tongue - just a thought.
Laser for cleaning the tongue - just a thought.
This is just a thought. I have seen this laser technology, painless, gum cleaning, quick recovery etc.
I did laser cleaning for my gums few yrs back (because then I thought gum was the main cause of my bb, though my dentist always said my gums were not so bad to go for laser, and it will not harm either, as cleaning is always good).
So just wondering, can laser be not used to clean the tongue surface or back posterior of the tongue or maybe even esphogaus? After all its all those bacteria build up with Voltalie Suplur (whatever may be the cause of origin, GERD, Gums, hormonal imbalance, but all these finally end up with a thick coat on tongue).
Maybe not a complete cure, but atleast the laser cleaning of tongue may give some temporary relief for few days/months .
Any thoughts?

I've tried a similar thing using heat alone and I was able to permanently scar small areas. Depending on the intensity, papillae either disappear or are stunted in size. I dont know what the long-term risks of doing such a thing could bring, such as oral cancer though. I really can't imagine any surgeon doing this for the risks of nerve and muscle damage and also damage to the sense of taste - I've got a small amount of numbness and muscle stiffness in my tongue from what I did. Thank god it doesn't affect my speech.
I wonder if that area was once burnt from hot food, or perhaps it's some sort of mouth sore that never goes away? Anyway, there's very little coating, if any there... A couple weeks ago, the perimeter of that area seemed slightly inflamed and the whole area was sooo smooth looking. I wish my whole tongue looked like that.
There's another spot further toward the back center that often seems to resist white coating, with short papillae.
But the ENT I spoke to about it, said it would probably become an even better breeding ground for bacteria.
Still, nobody has tried it, as far as I know. Can you ask whoever did your gum lasering to have a go...?

I have 2 wisdom tooth in lower jaw and I am planning to get them removed soon. Both upper jaw wisdom tooth have been removed.
I am wondering whether removing the wisdom tooth has been the cause for bb or not removing the wisdom tooth can lead to bb?
But I don't think my bb comes from the teeth/gum line. I feel its always from the back of my tongue and now while breathing out as well.
I will be talking to my dentist on this soon. I know there is no such thing as tongue laser cleaning and my dentist may not agree to do this. But she occassionally teaches WHO, and she may keep this in mind or discuss further.

Thnx for the link. I will update after I talk with my dentist soon. My ENT also had nothing to say more on this. But I am more comfortable with my dentist.
Also as per the link Murad says use Zinc cloride. Its an old thread, has any one tried zinc chloride.?

you meant to say "Mouth" , not "mouse" i assume .
I wonder what the laser is cleaning and what type spectrum is used.
There are UV beams for germicide and whitening .

Hi Susanawalkly, Mouth or Gum area? I have not heard of tongue cleaning using Laser. I should have checked with the dentist during my last visit but I forgot .susanawalkly wrote:I have met a person in clinic. The dentist used infrared laser pointer to help him clean mouse.

Laser is very common to treat gum disease these days. Its not expensive as compared to gum surgery.
Also keep in mind, that everything is negotiable - including laser treatment.
