The right tools can make an important job easier to manage. When it comes to treatments that affect your periodontal health, the use of lasers can have benefits for patients during and after their care. During treatment, laser technology can minimize changes to your periodontal tissues by making more precise cuts, limiting tissue damage, and removing the need for sutures to help you recover after a procedure. These benefits during treatment lead to benefits after a procedure is performed, as your recovery can be shorter and easier! At our Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontal practice, we offer treatments with multiple laser tools so that we can personalize a patient’s care and help them recover from the potentially serious impact of periodontal disease!

3 Benefits To Using Lasers During Periodontal Services
Problems with periodontal disease should not be taken lightly. Without proper management, the bacteria that are spreading below your gum line can destroy tissues that support your teeth, and they can also create new issues for your well-being by spreading to different areas of your body. The work to address a serious infection can sometimes demand work that directly affects your periodontal tissues. Fortunately, this work can be made less invasive, and more comfortable, when laser technology is used instead of manual tools. Our Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontal practice relies on lasers during many procedures that we perform. Because of this, we can provide better experiences in the office as well as easier recovery periods for patients! (more…)

How Lasers Help With Efforts To Fight Advanced Gum Disease
People who develop problems with advanced gum disease can be surprised by the degree of trouble their infection can cause.
