INTRAORAL LASER TREATMENT
Gum Disease Treatment: How to Save Your Teeth
Intraoral laser treatment is a minimally invasive dental procedure that uses a laser beam to cut, remove, or reshape tissue in the mouth. Lasers can be used for a variety of dental procedures, including:
- Cavity fillings
- Gum disease treatment
- Teeth whitening
- Removal of benign growths
- Tapping and filling of root canals
- Crown lengthening
- Soft tissue surgery
- Gingival hyperpigmentation (darkening of the gums)
Lasers have several advantages over traditional dental procedures. They can:
Cut through tissue with more precision, resulting in less damage to surrounding tissue.
Seal blood vessels as they cut, reducing bleeding and the need for stitches.
Kill bacteria, reducing the risk of infection.
Speed up healing time.
Reduce pain and discomfort.
If you are interested in learning more about intraoral laser treatment, I recommend that you schedule a consultation with your dentist. They can discuss the benefits and risks of this procedure and help you decide if it is right for you.
