Your periodontal health matters in more ways than you might realize. If your gums are not healthy, you are susceptible to the development of periodontal disease, which has lasting consequences. Over time, the condition destroys the tissues that support your teeth, which is why people who suffer from this are vulnerable to tooth loss. It is also possible for the condition to affect your general health, as bacteria attacking your gums can move to other locations in your body. Through different services, your Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontist can fight the effects of periodontal disease by addressing bacteria, and by restoring damages that have already occurred. When performing treatments for patients, our practice uses laser technology to make work more precise. This makes it possible to preserve more of your healthy tissues, and it also leads to easier and faster healing. (more…)

Using Lasers To Carefully Removed Diseased Gum Tissues
If problems with your periodontal health are identified in time, it may be possible to protect your smile through a periodontal cleaning.
