Gum disease has long been a prominent problem in dentistry. Once a person has gingivitis, it is hard to recommend anything other than brushing, flossing, and a deep cleaning. However, breakthroughs in laser technology have shown that newly researched laser therapy may be a good option for people looking to prevent or slow gum disease.

Gum disease is usually caused by plaque bacteria working its way under the gums and causing inflammation and tooth decay. With laser therapy, we may be able to kill the bacteria that live under the gums without painful deep cleanings or other aggressive methods.

Laser therapy offers many benefits over traditional methods of removing gum disease, including:

Traditional methods of removing gum disease include painful deep cleanings, oral surgery, and antibiotics. Some of these therapies have proven to be ineffective, especially when compared to the results achieved from laser therapy.

Laser therapy is new in the dentistry world and not many other dentists are qualified to perform it. Our dentist at FLOSS Dental Kingwood is passionate about using the latest technology for his patients and knows that laser therapy is typically better than traditional methods for removing gum disease.
