Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common problem. It can cause sore, bleeding gums and even tooth loss. But there’s good news! At DuPage Dental Smiles, we offer a modern, gentle treatment option: laser gum therapy.
What is Laser Gum Therapy?
Laser gum therapy uses a special laser to treat gum disease. The laser removes infected tissue and bacteria from your gums. It’s a less invasive way to get your gums healthy again.
How Does Laser Treatment for Gum Disease Work?
The laser works by targeting the source of the infection. Here’s what it does:
- It precisely removes diseased tissue.
- It kills harmful bacteria.
- It promotes natural healing.
This treatment is often more comfortable than traditional gum surgery.
What are the Benefits of Laser Therapy?
Laser gum therapy has many advantages. Let’s check them out:
- Less Pain: It’s a gentler procedure than traditional surgery.
- Faster Recovery: You’ll heal quicker and get back to your normal routine sooner.
- Reduced Bleeding and Swelling: The laser helps to seal blood vessels.
- Lower Risk of Infection: Lasers sterilize the area during treatment.
This means a more comfortable experience for you.
What to Expect During Laser Treatment
First, Dr. Bagai will examine your gums. If laser therapy is right for you, we’ll schedule a treatment. During the procedure, a Picasso+ laser is used to remove diseased tissue and bacteria. It is a very precise process.
Taking Care of Your Gums After Laser Treatment
After your laser treatment, it’s important to take good care of your gums. Brush gently and follow any instructions Dr. Bagai gives you. This will help your gums heal properly.
Is Laser Gum Disease Treatment Right for You?
Laser gum therapy is a great option for many people with gum disease. If you have red, swollen, or bleeding gums, talk to Dr. Bagai about whether this treatment is right for you.
Cost and Insurance
The cost of laser gum therapy can vary. We’ll discuss the cost with you during your consultation. We can also help you understand your insurance coverage and explore financing options like CareCredit to make getting the care you need easier!
