Now more and more people are choosing to use the FDA-approved Laser Periodontal Therapy to cure their gum disease and also avoid cut and stitch gum surgery. Sure, you can have your dessert and eat it too.
In laser periodontal surgery, a laser light is used to help eliminate bacteria inside the pockets and remove diseased tissue while leaving healthy tissue untouched. Tartar is removed from the roots and the laser is used to make a reconnection between the root and the gum to decrease the pocket.
The advantages:
