Periodontics/Laser Procedures

Periodontal disease (“gum disease”) takes many different forms, but is usually a result of bacterial infection of the gums (gingiva). Periodontal disease is a “silent disease process,” usually resulting in no pain or discomfort until the end-stage of the disease. Easily bleeding gums are the first sign of the disease, progressing to loss of attachment and tooth mobility. Untreated, it often leads to severe pain accompanied by tooth loss, alveolar bone loss, and recently has been linked to cardiovascular disease (heart damage) and diabetes.
