If you have periodontal disease, this could lead to discomfort, such as sore and bleeding gums. But over time, this could also lead to missing teeth! To help treat more severe cases and help smiles stay strong, we can help using advanced technology. In today’s blog, Brooklyn Periodontics and Implantology talks about improving periodontic health with dental lasers.
The Importance of Treating Periodontal Disease
When periodontal disease starts, this could appear minor. But over time this could progress into a stage known as periodontitis, which is linked to adult tooth loss. When you begin to notice changes to your gums, you should contact our team for periodontic care. For example, if your gums appear sore, red, or bleeding, or if they are receding to make teeth appear longer, you need action to help avoid the risk of further discomfort and missing teeth. Our team can conduct an examination with digital x-rays, intraoral cameras, and even CBCT imaging to make a diagnosis with precision and accuracy, assessing the disease and any damage to attachment issues and underlying bone structure too! From there, we can create a treatment plan with precision and accuracy.
Help with Advanced Laser Systems
For minor stages, we could start with a deep cleaning to remove harmful buildup from the teeth and roots. But if you have a more severe case of periodontal disease, our team could instead target the issue with laser dentistry, using systems like LANAP and REPAIR to gently trim away the disease portions of your gums and destroy harmful bacteria pockets. We can reshape your gum line with precision for an attractive appearance, and this can address the issue in one visit. Since we don’t need scalpels or sutures, the treated portions heal much faster, and you could even return to your usual routine after only a day or two of rest. Lasers provide treatment with precision and accuracy, and comfort!
Managing Your Periodontal Health
Following your deep cleaning or laser treatment, we need to take regular steps to manage the disease so the periodontitis stage is prevented and you maintain a full smile. Our team could do this with special medications, oxygen treatments, routine cleanings every few months, and instructions for better homecare habits too. Working together, we can keep your gums strong and your smile full.
