How does laser gum therapy work?

Laser gum therapy is a modern, minimally invasive treatment for gum disease. Here’s how it works:

  • Precision Treatment: A specialized laser targets and removes diseased gum tissue while leaving healthy tissue intact.

  • Bacteria Elimination: The laser sterilizes the area, killing bacteria that cause infection.

  • Healing & Regeneration: The treatment encourages natural healing and can even promote the regeneration of bone and gum tissue. This approach reduces discomfort and recovery time compared to traditional methods.

Is periodontal treatment painful?

Thanks to advancements in technology and sedation options, periodontal treatment is generally painless. Laser therapy minimizes discomfort by avoiding the need for incisions or stitches, and sedation dentistry can keep you relaxed and anxiety-free throughout the procedure. Most patients report only mild soreness, which resolves quickly.

Can gum disease be reversed?

In its early stage (gingivitis), gum disease is reversible with professional cleaning and improved oral hygiene. However, advanced gum disease (periodontitis) requires specialized treatments like scaling and root planing, laser therapy, or surgery to manage the condition and prevent further damage. Early intervention is key to successful outcomes.

What happens if gum disease goes untreated?

Untreated gum disease can lead to serious oral and overall health issues, such as:

  • Tooth loss due to damage to the bone and gums

  • Increased risk of systemic health problems like heart disease, diabetes, and stroke

  • Persistent bad breath and pain Addressing gum disease early protects not only your oral health but also your overall well-being.

How can I prevent gum disease?

Preventing gum disease involves a combination of good oral hygiene and professional care:

  • Brush twice daily and floss once a day.

  • Use an antimicrobial mouthwash.

  • Visit your dentist regularly for cleanings and checkups.

  • Avoid smoking, which increases the risk of gum disease. With proper care, you can maintain healthy gums for life.

Many patients are interested in oral appliance therapy because they cannot use the CPAP machine.

Oral appliances are:

  • Small

  • Easy to transport

  • Do not involve hoses or masks

  • Do not rely on electricity

  • And make no noise

In many cases, oral appliances are as effective as CPAP; in some cases, CPAP is a better option. Dr. Goldberg will review your sleep study with you to help determine if oral appliance therapy or CPAP is best for you

If you have been feeling fatigued during the day, snoring or you wake during the night gasping for air, please contact us so we can help.

We look forward to meeting you and helping you care for your dental health.
