What is Laser Periodontics?
Laser periodontics is a modern approach to treating periodontal disease using laser technology. This technique involves a specialized dental laser to remove diseased tissue and bacteria from the gum pockets. The laser energy targets and eliminates the infection while promoting the regeneration of healthy tissue. Laser periodontics offers several advantages over traditional methods, including reduced discomfort, minimized bleeding, and faster recovery times.
Benefits of Laser Periodontics
- Minimally Invasive: Laser treatment is less invasive than conventional surgery, resulting in less pain and discomfort.
- Reduced Bleeding and Swelling: The precision of the laser minimizes damage to surrounding tissue, leading to less bleeding and swelling.
- Faster Healing Process: Patients often experience quicker recovery times due to the reduced trauma to the gums.
- Enhanced Precision: The laser allows for precise removal of diseased tissue while preserving healthy tissue.
- Bacteria Reduction: The laser effectively targets and eliminates bacteria, reducing the risk of infection.
Dr. Mark Schlesinger
Periodontist
“Laser periodontics is a revolutionary approach that offers patients a comfortable and efficient way to treat periodontal disease. Advanced technology allows for precise treatment with minimal discomfort and faster healing.”
What to Expect During Laser Periodontics Treatment
- Consultation and Assessment: Your periodontist will conduct a thorough examination of your oral health and discuss your treatment options.
- Local Anesthesia: A local anesthetic will be administered to numb the gums and ensure your comfort during the procedure.
- Laser Treatment: The periodontist will use a dental laser to remove the diseased tissue and bacteria from the gum pockets. The laser also helps to stimulate bone and tissue regeneration.
- Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, you will receive detailed instructions on how to care for your gums during the recovery period.
Laser Periodontics Recovery
Recovery from laser periodontics is typically quicker and more comfortable compared to traditional surgery.
Here are some guidelines to follow during the recovery period:
- Maintain Oral Hygiene: Use a special mouthwash as directed to help kill bacteria and promote healing. Avoid brushing or flossing the treated area until it is fully healed.
- Diet: Stick to soft foods like Jell-O, scrambled eggs, yogurt, pudding, mashed potatoes, smoothies, and pasta. Avoid hot or very cold foods and drinks.
- Avoid Straws: Do not use a straw until you have fully recovered to prevent dislodging the healing tissue.
- No Smoking or Alcohol: Refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol for at least seven days after the procedure to promote healing.
- Rest and Recovery: Avoid strenuous physical activities and allow your body time to heal.
