Benefits of Laser Therapy in Periodontal Disease Treatment |
Posted on 5/22/2023 by Todd Jorgenson |
 Laser therapy is an approach that is gaining much popularity in the treatment of periodontal disease. It involves using a focused beam of light to identify and eliminate diseased tissues in your mouth. There are many advantages of this non-invasive treatment method including:
Minimal Discomfort
The procedure is not invasive and does not require making incisions on the gums. A dental expert uses a beam of light to treat damaged gum tissues. This method is less painful and has a very short recovery period. Additionally, dentists can remove infected tissues without causing too much bleeding. The laser beam can seal off your blood vessels which prevents heavy bleeding.
Promotes Gum Tissue Regeneration
Laser therapy helps to encourage the growth of new gum tissue and jawbone. The process helps to replace damaged tissues. After the treatment, you can expect to have healthy gum tissues that are free from periodontal disease.
Targets Only Diseased Tissues
The treatment method only targets the damaged gum tissues. It leaves the other tissues untouched. The technique helps to reduce damage to your healthy tissues and minimize the risk of complications.
Reduce the Risk of Infection
Laser therapy targets the infected tissues and eliminates bacteria due to periodontitis. The laser beam dental experts use has antimicrobial effects, which helps to destroy bacteria. It helps reduce harmful bacteria in your mouth and prevent gum disease. Through this method, you can safeguard yourself from future infections, but you need to be quite vigilant in adopting healthy oral practices.
Overall, laser therapy is an ideal and less painful method of managing gum disease. The treatment kills bacteria and stimulates the growth of new bone and gum tissues. After the treatment, you will be at a lower risk of future infections. However, it is important to discuss with a dentist who will evaluate whether laser therapy is an ideal treatment for you. For advanced periodontal disease, the dentist might recommend surgical options to address the condition adequately.
