Dental Lasers Offer Comfortable Treatment

Our team is proud to offer advanced dental lasers as part of our treatments for periodontal disease. These can aid in minor or even advanced stages of the disease, restoring health to your smile. But they also offer treatment with comfort! In today’s blog, your Encinitas/San Diego, CA, periodontist talks about laser dentistry.

When to Seek Periodontal Care

When should you contact our office for periodontal treatment? Your general dentist or orthodontist may refer you to us upon discovering warning signs of gingivitis or gum disease. But you can make an appointment when you experience these symptoms. For example, soreness in your gums, or if they appear redder than usual, are cause for concern. Bleeding when you brush and floss could be a symptom, as could recession, which makes teeth appear longer or possibly uneven. Treatment is crucial because without it, the disease could reach a more advanced stage known as periodontitis. You then become more vulnerable to tooth loss!

The Comfort of Advanced Technology

Our team can help manage minor and advanced stages of the disease with laser dentistry. This technology provides treatment with comfort, in fact some treatments won’t require anesthesia at all. These can target the areas requiring treatment with precision to prevent damage to healthy tissues. The area also heals quicker, as we don’t need sutures and scalpels, so you can return to your normal routine after only 24 to 48 hours. In addition, they reduce the risk of bleeding, swelling, and infection. You enjoy treatment with precision, and results that can keep your smile healthy and whole.

The Treatment Process

The treatment process involves our team using the technology to gently trim away the diseased portions of your gums, which reduces the depth of gum pockets and allows healthy tissues to reattach to the teeth. The procedure takes one visit and heals quickly. Moving forward, we can then manage the disease with preventive and holistic treatments, such as Ozone Therapy, antimicrobial medications, and even cleanings or Supportive Periodontal Maintenance. Don’t let the disease cause discomfort or even risk the loss of your teeth, talk to our team about treatment with advanced dental lasers.
