Periodontal disease is an infection of the gums which can be caused by plaque buildup. If you have been diagnosed with this condition, it’s essential that you schedule consistent deep cleanings to best manage your symptoms. Without these treatments, the infection can progress into more serious stages that can lead to gum recession, tooth loss, and more. Dr. Kania in Encinitas, CA, offers laser therapy that may be more comfortable than traditional scaling and root planing treatments. In today’s blog, we’re here to discuss these treatment options.
