Laser technology: A safe, comfortable, effective way to treat periodontal disease

At Flower Dental, we are very pleased that our excellent hygienist, Alina, is trained and certified to use soft tissue lasers for the elimination of bacterial infection and badly damaged periodontal tissue. For patients with periodontal disease, it is a significant advantage to have access to laser periodontal treatment. Laser tools can remove deep pockets by disinfecting or selectively killing the harmful bacteria which then reduces inflammation allowing for natural healing of infected periodontal tissue.

Using a soft tissue laser allows for maximal effectiveness: minimal loss of healthy gum tissue during the removal of the diseased gum tissue in relatively little time. Plus, gums feel minimal pain, and contact with the laser stimulates the gums to regenerate themselves and heal faster after the surgery. In fact, there is little to no bleeding involved in laser periodontal treatment, very little swelling, and no need for a general anesthetic because it is so painless.
