Gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss in adults. Unfortunately, many warning signs can go unnoticed for years while they cause irreversible damage to oral health. Studies show that untreated gum disease can lead to more than just discomfort; it can increase your risk for other health conditions, such as heart disease, pancreatitis, arthritis, and diabetes.
Compassionate Care Dental proudly offers advanced laser gum disease treatment, for a comfortable and highly effective solution. With laser therapy, we can target and remove infected tissue and harmful bacteria without surgery, helping you feel better and protecting your overall health.
Laser gum therapy is a modern and gentle approach to treating gum disease without scalpels or stitches. Using safe laser technology, we can precisely remove infected gum tissue and bacteria, targeting only the affected areas.
This process can reduce bleeding, swelling, and recovery time compared to traditional methods. The laser encourages natural healing and minimizes discomfort, making it an ideal option for many patients. Laser therapy is a trusted, effective choice for healthier gums and a happier smile.
Scaling and root planing, sometimes called “deep cleaning,” is frequently the first step in a comprehensive periodontal disease treatment plan. While regular dental cleanings are an excellent way to prevent gum disease and an effective early gingivitis treatment, the advanced periodontal disease needs a specialized approach that completely removes bacteria below the gumline.
We’ll thoroughly numb the area to ensure your total comfort throughout the procedure. We may need to split your deep cleaning into two parts to give our team enough time to thoroughly clean the affected teeth.
Periodontitis treatment is an ongoing process that requires upkeep and maintenance to allow your gum tissue to heal fully. We’ll help you maintain your periodontal care results to ensure you get the most out of other gum disease treatments, such as scaling and root planing, and that you can enjoy excellent gum health long-term.
Periodontal maintenance cleanings involve thoroughly cleaning the base of any periodontal pockets to prevent bacteria and tartar from building up again. These cleanings are important because they address areas too deep to clean at home, even with excellent brushing and flossing habits.
