How Laser Therapy Works
Laser therapy offers versatile applications in treating gum disease. It can effectively remove diseased tissue found around and between teeth. Tartar and mineral buildup can accumulate around the tooth roots, and laser treatment can eliminate this buildup and thoroughly clean gum pockets.
Additionally, lasers can be combined with traditional methods like scaling to eliminate diseased gum tissue and eradicate bacteria around the teeth. Using lasers in these various ways enhances the efficacy of gum disease treatment.
