Cure Pain and Improve Wound Healing using Light! Introducing Photobiomodulation in Dentistry – PDP234

July 31, 2025

Have you heard of Photobiomodulation (PBM)? Or are you thinking… ‘photo-what?!

Is red light therapy just voodoo science—or is it already part of mainstream healthcare?

Can PBM really help with wound healing, pain relief, and even reduce the risk of dementia?

In this episode, Professor Praveen Arany joins Jaz Gulati to break down the science and clinical relevance of PBM in dentistry. They explore how this light-based therapy works, its applications in managing oral lesions, and why it’s already standard care for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

They also discuss real-world cases, practical protocols, and how PBM could shape the future of dental care. Whether you’re a skeptic or just curious, this episode will open your eyes to an emerging and evidence-based treatment modality.
