Laser Treatment for Gum Disease allows periodontists to treat gum disease with a more advanced method. Laser Treatment for gum disease will usually work along with other traditional methods such as Deep Teeth Cleaning or Scaling and Root Planing.
With Laser Treatment your periodontist will remove the diseased gum tissue by using a laser tool. Later he or she will remove the plaque and tartar that accumulates in your gum pockets. The laser allows the bacteria to be removed selectively, killing all germs that cause gum infection while leaving the healthy tissue unharmed. The laser removes the debris off, leaving your mouth clear from bacteria.
After this procedure the healing process can begin. Slowly, your gums will begin to reattach healthily and firmly to your teeth again.

Procedure & Diagnosis
If you’re a new patient, the doctor will make an evaluation of your general oral condition through an Initial Comprehensive Exam.
This Comprehensive Dental Exam includes checking your teeth, gums, tissues, bones and jaw. It also includes oral cancer screening and x-rays (if needed).
Depending on the stage of your gum disease and your preferences, the doctor will perform laser treatment alone, or combined with traditional methods. Anesthesia will probably be required to reduce any discomfort. The laser tool will smoothly and selectively remove infected tissues from the gum pockets.
Once plaque, tartar and all debris have been adequately removed, your healing period will start. The laser treatment allows for a faster healing process since a blood clot is formed. This helps and speeds up the healing process. However, because every patient is different, healing periods may vary according to each patient’s organism.
The doctor will advise you on further office visits and home care to make the treatment results more effective and long-lasting.
