Keeping your mouth healthy can be challenging, especially when treating and preventing gum disease. If you’re looking for a more advanced way to remove bacteria and improve your whole-body health, laser dental decontamination can help.
What is Laser Dental Decontamination?
Laser dental decontamination, or laser bacterial reduction, is a procedure that uses laser energy to target and eliminate bacteria without damaging the gums or teeth. Some bacteria are resistant to manual removal and some are too deep in the pocket out of the reach of instruments. Adding laser treatments eradicates these types of harmful bacteria reducing inflammation in the gums and improving oral health. Due to the presence of bacteria in the pocket of your gums the tissue becomes irritated and damaged. Adding laser to the cleaning helps stimulate the production of healthy new tissue utilizing your body’s inherent ability to heal.
What are the Benefits of Laser Dental Decontamination?
Laser dental decontamination can be a central part of your periodontitis treatment. It can help regularly destroy bacteria that can lead to later stages of periodontitis, often requiring more invasive treatment options. Laser dental decontamination is completely painless and doesn’t require any anesthetic, nor do you need to take any special steps afterward. This makes it an easy way to manage periodontitis and your overall health.
What Can I Expect From Laser Dental Decontamination?
This procedure is quick and easy, only taking about ten minutes. We often pair it with your regular professional cleaning. Laser dental decontamination uses a diode laser fiber – Dr. Du Mond will shine it along the gumline to target bacteria and disinfect the area. This process can treat existing inflammation and infection, allowing your gums to heal and preventing further damage. After treatment, you can go about the rest of your day without any restrictions.
