Laser gum treatment can help. It is just one tool in helping to restore the health of your gums.
The jury is out on this one. Personally, I switched to Perio Protect a few years ago after doing an in-office comparison study of laser vs. Perio Protect. The difference was immediate and dramatic.
Yes, it can be, depending on the severity of your condition.
That depends on what the periodontal issue is. It is often helpful, but other treatments may also be necessary.
