Do I Need to Protect my Dental Work Before I Get Thermage Treatments?

Question

After a report by the FDA in 2004, Thermage published a Technical note to protect dental work with cotton rolls. Is it still recommended to protect dental work? If so, what happens if I don't?

Thank you for your question!
Protecting the dental work is easy to do- you can place dental pleggets over the teeth for the time period that the area is being treated.
The new Thernage CPT is a fantastic new upgrade to decrease the discomfort of the treatment and improve the results of skin tightening!
With Warm Regards,

Thermage with the new CPT technology really has no real effect on teeth. I have been using it without any discomfort on patients and they have had no side effects. Please let me know how your treatment goes. I love Thermage!
