FAQs About Periodontics
Check out some of the questions we often get about periodontics. Still have questions? Contact us today!
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a bacterial infection that affects the gums and supporting structures of your teeth. Symptoms may include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum sensitivity, receding gums, and pain while chewing. Left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss and damage to the jawbone.
Treatment for periodontal disease typically begins with scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline. For more advanced cases, laser gum therapy is an effective and minimally invasive option. This treatment uses advanced laser technology to target bacteria, remove plaque, and reduce gum inflammation, promoting faster healing and better outcomes.
Laser gum therapy offers several advantages for managing periodontal disease. It is less invasive than traditional surgical methods, resulting in minimal discomfort, no bleeding, and quicker recovery times. Additionally, the laser’s precision helps reduce the risk of bone loss around teeth and implants while improving overall gum health. It’s a great option for patients looking for effective and advanced treatment for gum disease.
