Laser Dentistry For Gum Disease
About Laser Dentistry For Gum Disease
Gum disease, DMD also called periodontal disease, is a serious condition that can damage the gum tissue, bone, and tooth roots if left untreated. It can lead to severe health problems and the loss of teeth if not treated properly. The best way to treat gum disease is with non-invasive laser gum therapy. At Petalum Valley Dental, we utilize a Fotona LightWalker laser to help save your teeth and improve your oral health. This procedure is minimally invasive, which means less pain, swelling and bleeding during and after the treatment.
The LightWalker laser uses photo-biostimulation to promote regeneration of healthy gum tissue and bone, reduce bacteria levels, and heal the area. The laser energy reaches deep into the pockets around your teeth, where harmful bacteria are hiding. The light energy absorbed by the pigment in these bacteria and damaged tissues vaporizes them, killing the bacteria and eliminating infection. The LightWalker laser also sterilizes the area, reducing bacterial levels and encouraging healing.

The light energy from the laser also stimulates new gum tissue growth and tightening of the gum tissues around your teeth. This can reverse some of the damage from advanced gum disease, which can cause loose teeth and bone loss. We can save your teeth with this treatment and help you improve your oral health, reduce risk factors for deteriorating health, and have a more beautiful smile.
