Dental laser assembly with dual lasers

A dental laser comprising:

• a housing having a first laser cavity and a second laser cavity,
• said housing having at least one optical output port,
• a dental optical delivery system connected to said port,
• a first laser contained in said first cavity which, when activated, generates a first laser beam,
• a second laser contained in said second laser cavity which, when activated, generates a second laser beam,
• means for selectively activating only one of said lasers at a given time, and
• means for directing the laser beam from the activated laser to said at least one port,
• wherein said first laser beam has optical qualities sufficient to perform any of a first set of dental treatment therapeutic procedures in a mouth,
• wherein said second laser beam has optical qualities sufficient to perform any of a second set of dental treatment therapeutic procedures in a mouth,
• wherein said first set of dental treatment procedures is substantially mutually exclusive from said second set of dental procedures,
• wherein said first laser is a pulse laser and has a wave length of between 0.2 and 2.0 micrometers, a beam diameter at a target site of 10-5000 microns and a pulse duration of between several picoseconds and several milliseconds, and an energy of between 0.1 millijoules and 1 joules per pulse,
• wherein said second laser is a pulse laser and has a wave length of 2.0 to 5.0 micrometers, a beam diameter of 10 to 5000 microns at a target site, a pulse duration of several picoseconds to several milliseconds, and an energy of 0.1 millijoules to 5 joules per pulse.
