Gum disease is a problem that can grow worse with time. Gingivitis can be dealt with before long-term complications arise. At regular dental exams, and through your daily oral hygiene routine, you can fight the bacteria that begin to accumulate below your periodontal tissues and affect your well-being. Unfortunately, if these issues are not dealt with in time, they can worsen, which can lead to more serious concerns, like the threat of tooth loss, as well as problems managing other health conditions. To fight periodontal disease at this stage, you may need more advanced treatment. One way our Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontal practice can help is by providing treatments with lasers to fight bacteria and remove infected tissues. Using lasers instead of manual tools can make procedures more precise and comfortable, and it can produce shorter and easier healing periods! (more…)
Learn More About Our Less Invasive Gum Grafting Treatment
A gum grafting treatment is often part of a patient’s recovery from the effects of periodontal disease. Over time, periodontal tissues can recede and expose more of your tooth structure as you combat an infection. This creates more than just a cosmetic problem, as the exposed teeth roots are naturally more sensitive and less protected. At our Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontal practice, we use an approach known as the Pinhole Surgical Technique to make restoring your gum line feel less invasive. This technique requires less work on your tissues, and removes the need for suturing to help with recovery. In addition to being less involved, this approach shortens healing periods and provides cosmetic benefits in less time! (more…)
Removing Periodontal Bacteria With Laser Tools
Fighting oral bacteria on a daily basis will protect you against the movement of harmful microbes below your gum line.

For example, someone who develops problems with periodontal disease can struggle to manage problems with diabetes! Advanced periodontal problems also threaten your dental health directly by destroying the tissues that keep teeth in place. With this information, you can understand why successfully managing an infection benefits you.

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.
