Periodontal disease (gum disease) is the leading cause of tooth loss for American adults. Reports indicate that millions of people are unaware that they have gum disease, and about 30% of the population is genetically susceptible to contracting the condition. Other risk factors include smoking, pregnancy, puberty, stress, grinding teeth, poor nutrition, diabetes, and poor oral hygiene. When periodontal disease sets in, it destroys soft tissue, breaks the strong bond between teeth and supporting gums, and can cause jawbone deterioration, as well as tooth loss.
If your gums bleed when you brush your teeth, or if they appear red, swollen, or are tender to the touch, you may have periodontal disease. Depending upon the severity of your case, our hygienists may recommend deep teeth cleaning to reverse the condition. Our Fort Worth dental office uses a gentle soft-tissue laser for periodontal disease treatment by treating the pockets infected by bacteria. This procedure, combined with ultrasonic techniques, will help remove the disease and restore your gums to optimal health.
Soft-tissue laser therapy for deep teeth cleaning and periodontal disease treatment presents many advantages. The laser beam seals as it removes damaged tissue, so bleeding is minimal. Because of the reduced trauma, most patients feel better than they would after a traditional deep teeth cleaning.
