Gum Disease Laser Therapy

Mint Dentistry is very aggressive in the treatment of Periodontal or gum disease because once bone is lost, it's gone forever.  Gum disease is what happens when bacteria gets below the gum line and the attachment between the gum and tooth is lost. Gum disease is a silent, chronic, painless and communicable bacterial infection that often goes undetected or ignored until severe gum and bone destruction is unbearable and no longer able to be ignored. Left untreated, gum disease can cause tooth loss and traditional treatment can be painful. Three out of four Americans have some form of periodontal disease and only 3 out of 100 will ever get treated before its too late.

Mint treats gum disease with laser therapy

Our state-of-the-art laser gently disinfects and evaporates diseased tissues from around the tooth and inside the gum pocket. This treatment interrupts the bacterial destruction of the tissues and bone, giving the gum pocket a chance to heal. Systematic repeated visits, generally 2-8, allow the gum pocket to be disease-free and sometimes allow tissues to reattach to the pocket to a normal or near-normal depth. This new laser therapy is gentle, less painful, and has a quick recovery. While surgery may still be indicated for severely advanced periodontal cases, laser therapy is a much more conservative, effective and comfortable option for beginning to moderate periodontal cases.
