Laser Treatment for Periodontal Disease

If you are facing periodontal procedures such as scaling and root planing, bone graft, (surgery) and a lengthy treatment plan, ask your Periodontist about Laser Therapy! It is a more effective, less invasive and less painful procedure with a fast recovery time and is safe for patients who may have specific health concerns such as HIV, diabetes and hemophilia, or who take certain blood thinning medications that could hinder or impair conventional treatment. In researching this, the only drawback that I found was that not all dentists are equipped with the Laser.....in fact, only a small number offer it as a treatment, so you'll have to do your homework to find a dentist that is certified and licensed to perform Laser Therapy.

Keep Smiling!
