The Results Are In!

        

There are even more reasons to be pleased you have chosen laser periodontal therapy.

“People who are thinking of laser periodontal therapy may be excited to learn that the laser therapy requires no cutting or sewing, so recovery time is greatly reduced,” says Dr. Denine Rice of Rice Periodontal and Implant Surgery in Riverside, California. “Then there is the benefit that surrounding tissue is not damaged when the treatment is performed. For these two reasons, healing tends to start faster and tissues begin regenerating almost immediately. Yes, this can mean the saving of your teeth, but the best part of laser periodontal treatment is the benefit to your general health.”

Periodontal disease is caused when bacteria in the mouth gets out of control. The bacteria then can enter small blood vessels and be carried to other parts of the body. Bacteria moving this way can release toxins that will then potentially trigger inflammatory chemicals that can hurt arteries and organs.

Choosing periodontal therapy can reduce your susceptibility to:

Heart attack

Stroke

Respiratory disease

Diabetes

Osteoporosis

Having a low birth weight baby

Digestive disorders

Needless to say, keeping bacteria in check means feeling better overall. Remember, the mouth is the mirror of the body, when the mouth is fighting disease, so is your body.
