Can laser therapy be used to treat gum disease?
Yes, laser therapy can be used to treat gum disease: - How it works: Laser therapy uses a laser to remove infected tissue and bacteria from the gums, while leaving healthy tissue intact. The laser can also stimulate new tissue growth and seal blood vessels and nerve endings. - Benefits: Laser therapy is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional gum surgery. It can reduce pain and bleeding, and speed up healing. Laser therapy also doesn't require general anesthesia. - Effectiveness: Laser therapy is effective for treating early-stage gum disease, and can also be used for more advanced cases, though it may require multiple treatments. - Aftercare: After treatment, you may need to rest and recover, but you should be able to return to normal activities fairly quickly. - If you're considering laser therapy for gum disease, you should talk to your dentist or periodontist about the benefits and risks. Ignoring the symptoms of gum disease can result in tooth loss, bone decay, and other severe health issues. Fortunately, laser periodontal therapy is an effective and minimally invasive treatment option for those who suffer from gum disease. We do not offer this service. Please check with your regular dentist or periodontist for any of their referrals. *Best Regards,* *Peninsula Dental Implant Center* *1201 Saint Francis Way* *San Carlos CA 94070* *Tel: 650-232-7650 * *Fax: 650-542-0844* *Cell: 650-305-8200* READ MORE
