Gum disease (periodontitis) is common and usually caused by poor dental hygiene. When the gums become infected, it allows bacteria, plaque, and tartar to accumulate in pockets formed between the gums and the teeth. This can lead to chronic bad breath, bleeding gums, infected tissue, and even bone loss, loose teeth, and eventual tooth loss.
Laser-assisted periodontal therapy is precise, comfortable, and can be a safe recommended treatment for patients of all ages. Treatment with a soft tissue laser results in less bleeding and swelling of the gums. In addition, patients may also be able to avoid anesthesia because laser treatment results in less pain. The chance for bacterial infections is lower because the laser sterilizes the area, and using a laser also helps reduce damage that can occur to the surrounding tissues.
According to Registered Dental Hygienist Magazine, "Most dental hygienists who routinely use lasers during periodontal maintenance or active therapy anecdotally confirm superior clinical outcomes—less bleeding, faster healing, improved clinical attachment levels, and improved tissue integrity—with adjunctive use of lasers compared to not incorporating lasers."
At Third Coast Dental Group, we genuinely believe that laser therapy for periodontal and gum disease is the standard for care. It is a great preventative measure for most patients. It is also extremely beneficial for those who are on the cusp of being diagnosed with periodontitis or come from a family history of gum disease. As always, the dentists and team at Third Coast Dental Group will consider your exact treatment needs and provide you with an individualized preventative care plan that will put your best smile forward.
