I think this is the best option if you ask me, because I know that using laser for dentistry doe not hurt at all

withouthaving watched the video yet, from what i understand, laser doesn't totally remove the tonsils.. is that true?

my tonsils have holes in them that are actually incredibly deep.. i think that whole area needs to be carved out with a knife, or else the holes would still remain. It would take a heck of a lot of lasering to fry out all the flesh these monsters consume

In that video it looks like the entire tonsils are lasered off ...

the main difference from using the knife seems to be there's not as much blood, and maybe the patient doesn't need to be knocked out before the procedure...
