How do you know when to see our team for treatment? As the disease progresses, you could begin to notice changes to your gums. At this point, periodontal disease is more likely to reach the periodontitis stage without treatment. You need to seek treatment to manage it and avoid the risk of tooth loss! These warning signs could include sore and red gums, bleeding when you brush and floss, and possibly even recession, which makes teeth appear longer. When you experience changes to your smile like these, let us know so we can schedule a consultation and exam, and find out if you need treatment.
Our team will take detailed images of your smile with intraoral cameras and digital x-rays, which allows us to look at the surfaces of your gingival tissues for signs of inflammation and disease, and also peer beneath the gums to assess any damage to connective tissues and underlying bone structure. With this information, we can make a diagnosis with precision and accuracy, so we can start you on a journey to a healthier smile, one free of discomfort, bleeding, and tooth loss.
We’re proud to offer treatment for periodontal disease using advanced dental lasers! This technology employs a concentrated beam of light that is specially calibrated to take on soft tissue concerns and bring relief. We employ the technology to gently trim away the diseased parts of your gums, so that healthy tissues can attach to the teeth and close exposed pockets. The disease can then be managed with preventive care moving forward! Our team will take time to ensure the gum line looks good and symmetrical, and the technology prevents damage to the healthy structures. This also lowers the risk of bleeding, infection, and swelling. In some cases, the process rarely needs any anesthesia either.
If you have any questions about how our team can use dental lasers to treat and manage gum disease, keeping your smile healthy and whole, then contact our team today. We’re proud to help smiles with this effective, comfortable, and precise treatment option!
