LASER PERIODONTAL
There are various treatments available to address gum disease, and the choice of procedure recommended by your dentist depends on the severity of the condition. One increasingly popular option is laser periodontal therapy due to its minimally invasive approach. Dr. Stella Gonzalez offers this effective treatment to help restore your oral health.
Causes of Periodontal Issues
Timely treatment of gum infections is crucial to prevent jawbone loss and potential tooth loss. Various factors can lead to periodontal problems, including poor oral hygiene habits, lifestyle choices such as excessive smoking or drinking, chronic illnesses, certain medications, and genetics.
Symptoms of Gum Diseases
While it is recommended to have regular dental checkups twice a year, it is important to seek immediate dental attention if you experience the following symptoms:
- Swollen and inflamed gums
- Discoloration of gums, such as bright red, dusky red, or purple
- Tender gums upon touch
- Bleeding gums
- Bad breath
- Pus formation between teeth and gums
The Benefits of Laser Therapy
Laser dentistry is a modern technique used to treat soft tissue conditions, including periodontitis. Using a BIOLASE laser, infected interdental tissues can be gently disinfected, preventing further spread of the disease. The laser also accelerates the healing of affected tissues through its bio stimulatory effect. Unlike traditional methods, the laser can precisely target the affected area while leaving healthy tissues unharmed. Recovery time is usually short, and anesthesia is not required. The procedure is painless and does not cause bleeding or discomfort.
