How does the presence of gum disease impact your smile? When we develop this widespread and serious disease, this could lead to soreness and redness in the gums, as well as bleeding, swelling, or possibly recession that makes tissues appear longer than usual. Without treatment, the disease could reach a stage known as periodontitis, which is linked to adult tooth loss! To avoid losing your natural teeth, our team could provide treatment for periodontal disease to manage it and keep your smile whole and beautiful!
To help manage the disease with comfort and precision, we will employ laser dentistry. With systems like Fotona, REPAIR with WaterLase, and LANAP, we can use a concentrated beam of light that has been specially calibrated to handle soft tissue concerns. Our team can trim away the diseased portions of your gums and in the process, ensure proper symmetry in your gum line. The technology also destroys harmful bacteria in the process. This can provide results in one day and the smile will heal quickly, so you can return to your usual routine in as little as 24 to 48 hours!
Following your laser treatment, our team will recommend preventive care to help manage and control the disease, so you avoid the need for more involved treatments, and your smile continues to remain whole and beautiful. We could control buildup with a routine cleaning every three to four months, and we could also assist with Ozone Therapy or special antimicrobial medications. We will also discuss better care at home, such as proper brushing and flossing habits daily, and a diet low in sugar and starch. Avoiding tobacco use is also helpful.
If you have any questions about how our team will diagnose and treat issues like gingivitis and periodontal disease, or if you would like to schedule an appointment to see our team and undergo care, then reach out to our office today to learn more and get started!
Our team is eager to help you enjoy optimal treatment and a smile free of tooth loss and disease, so see us to discuss managing your disease with advanced laser treatment and preventive care!
