Gum Disease Laser Therapy
Periodontal Therapy
People get periodontal or gum disease because bacteria becomes trapped below the gumline and eats away the attachment between the gum and tooth. Approximately 75% of all Americans have some form of periodontal disease. Unfortunately, only about 3% will get treatment before it’s too late. The rest will end up losing their natural teeth to periodontal disease.
Gum disease is a silent, painless and serious bacterial infection that usually goes unnoticed or ignored until severe gum and bone destruction occurs. By the time the pain of gum disease becomes unbearable, it is usually too late for effective treatment. Untreated gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss.
Complete Nonsurgical Periodontal Care
Our team of talented hygienists is trained in the most recent and advanced techniques to treat all four stages of periodontal disease. Using a combination of comfortable ultrasonics and instrumentation, painless laser-assisted dentistry, gentle disinfection and local antibiotics placement, we can treat gum disease nonsurgically.
Recent research has shown that periodontal disease is linked to many systemic diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease. That’s why we check every patient for periodontal disease at every visit to help safeguard not just your oral health but your overall health.
