If you're dealing with the destructive effects of progressing gum disease, your periodontist will likely suggest that you consider Laser Gum Surgery. 
If left untreated, gum disease progresses from initial symptoms, such as bleeding gums or bad breath, to the more devastating loss of teeth and bone.
And unfortunately, periodontitis will not resolve itself which means that you and your doctor will need to talk about options that are available to you.
Initially, treatment may include antibiotic therapy or deep cleanings for the early stages of gum disease. For more moderate to severe cases of periodontitis, Laser Gum Surgery will be recommended (depending on the specific conditions you're facing).
Why Laser Gum Surgery?
Performed without scalpels, laser treatment creates less anxiety for patients with a fear of dentistry. It also results in minimal pain and faster healing times.
That's super important to our patients, regardless of their age or comfort level with dental procedures.
