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. This procedure removes bacteria that are causing problems with gingivitis before periodontal disease can form. In this scenario, your infection can be reversed before you have to worry about potentially serious consequences with tooth loss, or issues with your general health.

Using Lasers To Perform A Jawbone Grafting Procedure
