How Your Dentist Can Use Lasers to Treat Gum Disease

Modern treatments of gingivitis are represented by protocols that include the use of the dental laser, and they are being, at this moment, the most efficient and with the best long-term results. Prior to the laser treatment, a professional oral sanitation procedure from Clarkson Dentalis performed, which includes descaling, brushing and air-flow treatments.
Laser therapy in gingivitis requires 1-2 treatment sessions and has the following benefits:
·It is painless, so it does not require anesthesia
·The laser is bactericidal, so the beam eliminates pathogenic bacteria representing the cause of the disease
·The laser beam acts in the depth of the tissues, ensuring maximum efficiency
·It eliminates inflammation
·The laser beam has a biostimulating effect, so it will stimulate regeneration and rapid local healing.
·There is minimal or no discomfort at all, in the next few hours after the operation, the patient being able to return to the usual daily schedule, without requiring special care
·The results are obvious from the first session, the bleeding stops, the gum turns pink again, with a healthy appearance, and its sensitivity disappears
Some gingivitis treatments also involve gingivectomy or gingivoplasty procedures. In the classic treatment options, they required anesthesia and traditional surgery. The dental laser now allows them to be performed without anesthesia, in most cases, or only with anesthetic spray or gel, in a gentle manner, without bleeding, with a rapid post-intervention recovery.
