How Laser Treatments Manages Your Periodontal Disease

Periodontal disease could form in your smile and without treatment, will pose a real risk to smile stability! Which is why we offer care to manage the issue and keep the smile intact. In today’s blog, Dr. Ann Kania and our team in Encinitas/San Diego, CA, talk about managing periodontal disease with advanced laser treatment.

The Presence and Dangers of Gum Disease

Periodontal disease poses a real risk to your smile. Over time, this will grow in severity until the connective tissues between your teeth and gums are severed, which can lead to loose and missing teeth. In fact, did you know that gum disease is the number one cause of adult tooth loss? But with laser treatments to manage your periodontal disease, we can keep the issue under control and ensure your smile remains intact. We want you to smile with confidence, avoiding tooth loss, as well as uncomfortable symptoms like sore, red, and bleeding gums.

Our Perio Laser Systems

Our perio laser treatments allow us to manage your periodontal disease, so you avoid worsening symptoms and the risk of losing teeth. The technology can target areas with precision, removing disease parts while leaving healthy portions intact. At the same time, this destroys harmful oral bacteria. Our team can reshape your gums to ensure proper symmetry and beauty afterward. The technology means no need for scalpels and sutures, so the area heals fast and you avoid the risk of infection, swelling, or bleeding afterward. Our team can choose from our LANAP, REPAIR with WaterLase, and Fotona systems, helping restore your smile and avoid the risk of losing natural teeth!

Managing Gum Disease Afterward

Following your laser treatment, we will continue to manage your periodontal disease to keep your smile strong and intact, keeping inflammation and more under control. For example, we can discuss better brushing and flossing habits, as well as healthier diets, to better control the issue. In our office, we can offer Supportive Periodontal Maintenance to remove harmful buildup every three to four months to keep smiles strong. We can also discuss Ozone Therapy and even special antimicrobial medications.
