When you develop issues like gingivitis and gum disease, you need care to manage these concerns and safeguard your smile against tooth loss and other major complications. Along with options like scaling and root planings, we can also employ advanced technology. In today’s blog, your Brooklyn, NY, periodontist and implant expert talks about boosting your gum health with dental lasers!
The Signs of Poor Gum Health
When should you contact our team for periodontic treatment? You should be concerned when you notice any changes to your gums, such as redness, soreness, or bleeding when you brush and floss. You could also notice swelling or possibly recession, in which they pull back from the teeth and expose portions of the roots so your teeth appear longer. This could be accompanied by tooth sensitivity and tooth too. When symptoms like these arise, contact our team and schedule a consultation and exam. Our team will take a close look at your smile with detailed panoramic imaging systems, including digital x-rays and CT imaging. We can then make a diagnosis with precision and offer a personable treatment plan employing options like laser dentistry.
Our Dental Laser Systems
Our team offers dental laser systems like LANAP and REPAIR with WaterLase. These are designed to help trim away the diseased portions of your gums so that healthy ones can attach to the teeth and we can begin managing your disease moving forward with preventive and holistic treatment options. We also have the LAPIP system, an option designed specifically to aid in the placement of dental implants and to ensure a faster healing process, so you can return to your normal routine faster. Remember, treating and managing periodontal disease is essential for preventing periodontitis, the stage of the disease linked to tooth loss.
Benefits for Our Patients
Dental lasers allow us to offer accurate and precise treatment, so there is no damage to healthy tissues or structures. The technology is comfortable too, sometimes requiring little to no anesthesia at all. The procedure can help limit the risk of bleeding, swelling, and infection, and the lack of scalpels and sutures means the treated portions heal much faster, some people return to their normal routine in as little as 24 to 48 hours. If you have any questions about how we can manage and improve your gum health with laser dentistry, or if you want to schedule a consultation with our team, then contact our office today!
