What is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease or gum disease is an infection that targets the tissues holding your teeth in place. Periodontal disease develops when plaque, a type of bacterial film, accumulates, and hardens on the teeth. The primary cause of this condition is poor dental hygiene, particularly a lack of brushing and proper flossing.
How Laser Dentistry Works
At All Coast Dental in Pacific Beach, CA, we pride ourselves in making every experience pleasant and comfortable for our patients. Our laser treatments are no different. Your trusted dentist will use a dental laser to remove infected tissue from the root of your teeth. One the infected tissue is removed, your dentist begins root scaling or scraping off the built-up plaque in your gumline. After the root is smoothed down to prevent future infections, the pocket is sealed using laser energy.
Benefits of Laser Dentistry
Treating periodontal disease with laser dentistry has a variety of benefits such as:
-Non-invasive procedure
