When you have poor periodontal health, this could lead to sore, red, and bleeding gums, and eventually a higher risk of tooth loss. To help protect your smile, we can offer soft tissue laser systems. In today’s blog, Dr. Ann Kania talks about protecting periodontal health in Encinitas/San Diego, CA, with soft tissue laser systems.
The Presence of Gum Disease
How do you know if you have periodontal disease? As we mentioned above, changes to your gums could indicate the potential presence of the disease, such as soreness in the gums, redness, bleeding, and swelling. As the issue increases in severity, you could also experience recession in which gums pull back until the teeth appear longer than usual. You need care to control the disease otherwise you risk the periodontitis stage, which is the number one cause of adult tooth loss! Fortunately, we can help. With dental lasers, we can protect your periodontal health.
Laser Dentistry
How will dental lasers help protect your periodontal health? With soft tissue systems, we can target diseased areas of the gums with precision, so we can comfortably remove these tissues and reshape your smile. The process helps destroy harmful oral bacteria in the process, and allow us to ensure proper symmetry and beauty in your smile afterward. Technology can also help improve the appearance of your face, offering the same benefits as dermal fillers. We have used the same technology to treat sleep apnea too, and even assist with jawbone grafting or gum grafts!
Managing Your Smile’s Health and Stability
Once we complete the laser treatment, protecting your gums, we need to recommend care to keep the disease in check. We may follow treatment with a routine dental cleanings every six months, so we can remove all plaque and tartar to limit inflammation. We could also assist with holistic treatments like Ozone Therapy or even antimicrobial medications. If you have any questions about how we protect your periodontal health with our advanced systems, or if you want to learn about how this safe and comfortable technology can take on sleep apnea or even hide common signs of aging, then contact our team today to learn more and get started.
