Our team understands the benefits of protecting your gum health and keeping periodontal disease under control. One way we can do so is by using advanced technology! In today’s blog, Dr. Ann Kania and our Encinitas/San Diego, CA, team talk about the advantages that our perio laser treatment offers our patients!
Signs You Need Treatment
How do you know if you need to seek periodontic care from our team? People with gingivitis and periodontal disease may experience sore, red, and bleeding gums, as well as recession that makes teeth appear longer than usual. If you have noticed changes to your gums, then please see our team right away for a diagnosis. With digital imaging systems, we can assess the presence and severity of your periodontal disease, and then offer care to manage it and protect your smile from complications, such as increasing discomfort and even tooth loss. Our team can talk to you about the advantages that perio lasers offer!
The Advantages Lasers Offer
What advantages will perio lasers offer? With this concentrated beam of light, we can target dissed areas of your gums with precision, removing these portions without impacting your healthy gums. The lasers also destroy harmful bacteria in the process, and lower the risk of bleeding, infection, and swelling. Since we don’t need scalpels or sutures, the process can take one visit and heal quickly. You may be able to return to your normal routine after only a day or two of rest. The system also allows us to reshape the gum line, ensuring proper symmetry following treatment. In one visit, perio lasers can make your disease manageable and protect the stability of your smile.
What Happens Next?
Following your perio laser treatment, we will create a treatment plan to manage the disease and control inflammation moving forward, keeping your smile healthy, intact, and comfortable. For example, we could offer Supportive Periodontal Maintenance every three to four months to remove plaque and tartar. We can also control harmful bacteria with Ozone Therapy and antimicrobial medication. Our team will also discuss better homecare habits, such as proper brushing and flossing, and a diet low in sugar. We also recommend avoiding any and all tobacco products.
If you have any questions about the advantages that perio lasers provide, or if you would like to start treatment to address your sore, bleeding gums, then contact our team today to learn more and get started.
