Using Lasers To Remove Diseased Tissues
Gum disease is a condition that grows progressively worse over time. Fortunately, it is an infection that can be reversed if it is addressed in its early stage. However, if you develop problems with more severe periodontal disease, bacteria can infect tissues and ligaments, cause larger periodontal pockets to open between gums and teeth, and become more difficult to control. At our Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontal practice, we are prepared to help individuals who experience this difficulty. If preventive care is no longer an option, we can discuss more involved procedures that can help. Because our office has access to laser technology, we can actually take on periodontal disease with more precision, which can lead to more comfort and easier recovery! (more…)
