Gum Disease Treatment

PERIODONTAL DISEASE

Periodontal disease may cause red, swollen gums that bleed. If left untreated, these gums may separate from the teeth and the supporting gum tissue and bone may deteriorate. As periodontal diseases progress, the supporting gum tissue and bone that hold teeth in place deteriorate, leading to tooth loss.

PREVENTING GUM DISEASE

A proper oral hygiene routine combined with regular exams and cleanings is the best way to prevent periodontal diseases. Once it starts, however, you must get professional treatment to stop it from progressing.

GUM DISEASE LASER THERAPY AT DENTIST IN WICHITA, KS

Wichita Family Dental is proud to offer the latest technology for periodontal therapy: laser treatment.

BENEFITS OF LASER DENTISTRY:

• • Comfort: Laser treatment is fast, efficient, and pain-free. It does not require a drill, so the uncomfortable noise that many people associate with dental treatment is eliminated. Bleeding and swelling are also significantly reduced or even eliminated and you will recover much faster as the mouth begins to heal immediately following the treatment.

• • Reduced Risk of Infection: The risk of bacterial infection is greatly reduced due to the laser’s light beam which sterilizes the area.

• • Anesthesia Limited or Eliminated: Laser dentistry is virtually painless, so you may only need light anesthetic if you need any at all.
