Periodontal disease is widespread and without care to manage it, patients could suffer from tooth loss. Which is why we offer treatment to take on your periodontal issues! In today’s blog, your Brooklyn, NY, periodontist and dental implant expert talks about comfortable treatment with our periodontal lasers.
The Warning Signs of Periodontal Disease
How do you know if you need to see our team for periodontic treatment? What are the indicators of issues like gingivitis and gum disease? If you have sore and red gums, or if they bled easily, then this could indicate gingivitis or the early stages of gum disease. If you notice swelling or possibly recession that makes teeth appear longer than usual, this could mean a more pronounced stage of gum disease. Treatment is needed to manage the issue because otherwise, the attachment tissues between your teeth and gums could be severed. This leads to missing and lost teeth. Fortunately, our team can help with advanced laser dentistry.
Treatment with Periodontic Lasers
We have a number of different systems at our disposal, including Fotona, LANAP, and REPAIR with WaterLase. With a dental laser, we use a concentrated beam of light that is calibrated to handle soft tissue concerns, like periodontal disease. The technology can target areas with greater precision than scalpels, and the areas won’t need sutures afterward, healing fast and allowing you to return to your normal routine after a day or two of rest. The technology allows us to remove diseased tissues and reshape the gum line for better oral health and symmetry. At the same time, this destroys harmful bacteria and decreases the risk of issues like swelling, bleeding, and infection.
Management
Following the treatment of the disease with lasers, we can discuss more preventive approaches to help manage the issue and safeguard your oral health. For example, we could recommend Supportive Periodontal Maintenance every three to four months to remove harmful buildup and control your oral health. We could also use Ozone Therapy and even sedation to help control inflammation. Our team will also discuss better homecare habits to manage the disease in between your visits to our team, such as better brushing and flossing habits, healthy diets low in sugar and starch, and avoiding tobacco products.
If you have any questions about how we diagnose and treat issues like periodontal disease with laser dentistry, or if you want to start care now and improve your smile in 2026 and in the years to come, then reach out to our team today.
