Sore, red, and bleeding gums could all indicate the presence of issues like periodontal disease and even periodontitis. You need treatment to not only stop discomfort, but avoid long-term issues like tooth loss. In today’s blog, Dr. Ann Kania talks about helping smiles in Encinitas/San Diego, CA, with laser periodontal treatment.
The Onset of Periodontal Disease
You should be aware of the common warning signs of the disease, so you know when to contact our team for treatment. For example, in the early stages of periodontal disease you could have sore and red gums. As the issue grows in severity, there could be bleeding in the tissues too, as well as recession that makes teeth appear uneven. When you begin to experience one or more of these potential symptoms, then you should reach out to our team today. Our team can tackle the disease with advanced laser treatment to help protect and preserve your smile.
Help with Our Laser Systems
If we catch the issue in the gingivitis or early disease stages, then we could often help with a deep cleaning. But if the issue has reached the stage in which there is bleeding and recession, we may offer care with laser dentistry. With systems like Fotona, LANAP, and REPAIR with WaterLase, our team can gently remove the diseased portions of your gums, reshaping your gum line in the process and destroying harmful oral bacteria. We can then better manage the disease afterward with routine cleanings and more. The technology offers same-day improvements that heal quickly and lower the risk of infections, swelling, and bleeding. We often offer care without the need for anesthesia too!
Other Applications for Our Lasers
In addition to treating periodontal disease, the technology could help us conduct gum and jawbone grafting procedures, aid in the placement of dental implants, and even provide solutions for sleep apnea. We could use the technology to help ease the signs of aging in your face as well, and to address gummy smiles for a more attractive smile. There are so many ways we can help your smile quickly and comfortably with an advanced system!
If you have any questions about how we diagnose and treat issues like gum disease, or about how we conduct laser treatment to help your smile, then contact our team today to learn more. We want to help you smile with confidence again, with results that ensure better oral health and smile stability too.
