When you hear the word laser surgery, you may be concerned
about the price, or the damage that a laser may cause to your gums. It may
sound new age, and you may be wondering how a tiny laser can remove bacteria
from your gums and improve your dental health. But lasers have been improved
and are now getting you the most out of your money when it comes to improving
the overall health of your gums.
Having unhealthy gums can cost you more than you think. If you do not get treatment for periodontal
disease, it can lead to major problems and not just tooth loss. Dr. Rice
states, “You can begin to lose teeth and bone as your gums begin to pull away
from the teeth. Decay and bacteria can also spread through the body causing
medical problems as well. Periodontal disease has been linked to heart disease
and liver problems.
Laser periodontal surgery allows a fine laser to go below
the gum line and clean out the bacteria without having to cut the gums. This
allows for faster recovery time, less time off of work, and more time spending
the holidays with family and friends. Laser surgery only requires usually two
main appointments as opposed to traditional laser surgery. This also reduces
the amount of money to be spent overall on surgery.
Once laser surgery is completed you usually can resume
normal activity, and after a few days you can resume normal eating. In order to
