However, these curing lights are the reason why your fillings stay in your mouth and don't end up in your dinner. Curing lights

are an essential tool for any dentist and are designed to quickly and effectively cure a resin, make sure it adheres properly and

keep it in place in your mouth.

greatest amount of energy at distances up to 10mm from the tooth is just amazing."
