Lasers are used for a multitude of needs these days. For
example, you may have had your vision corrected with laser surgery or a tattoo
removed. Lasers are used in doctor’s office for a variety of needs. Now
periodontist, Dr. Denine Rice is able to use periodontal lasers in order to
enhance the health of your mouth.
LANAP uses a thin laser with hairs that can go below the
gum-line to remove bacteria. While this procedure may cause some bleeding it
results in a lot less than traditional methods of treatment. One of the biggest
set backs to getting periodontal disease is that once you have it you always
have it. However, patients in Dr. Denine Rice’s office have seen tremendous results
and some have been lucky enough to see their gums reattach to the teeth. This
means they can have a healthier smile for years to come.
After you have laser surgery your can return to work if you
desire. There should be very little bleeding, pain and downtime. Remember, your
gums will never be healthy unless the bacteria is removed from the below the
gum-line. LANAP allows for this option no matter what your gums looked like
before. Then all you have to remember is to be gentle when you are brushing your
gums and teeth. Vigorous brushing is never encouraged no matter the health of
your gums!
