You may not realize that an important part of dental health is keeping your gums healthy. When you don’t care for your gums, there’s a chance that periodontal disease can develop and cause long-lasting issues for your smile. Dr. Stanley Sun and Dr. Stella Chan at Cupertino Dental Health in Cupertino, CA, can explain how laser periodontal treatment can help your gums and keep your mouth looking and feeling healthy and strong.

Laser Periodontal Treatment

Periodontitis can affect your entire smile if it’s left untreated. If you don’t treat your periodontal disease, it can lead to things like tooth loss and infections that can spread throughout your entire body. Luckily, your dentist in Cupertino, CA, offers laser periodontal treatment that can help save your smile from further damage.

Your dentist will use a laser to remove inflamed gums around the root of your tooth and then will remove the tartar and plaque that has built up in the gum line, helping to remove bacteria and anything that would cause infection. After laser therapy treatment, your mouth will need time to heal and have your gums regenerate and tighten up around the tooth again. After treatment is finished and your gums have healed, your mouth should be totally free of infection, giving your mouth a fresh start!

Laser periodontal treatment can target infection with precise accuracy, helping to prevent any irritation from happening or from removing too much of your gums. You’ll be able to feel comfortable with your refreshed smile and keep your mouth healthy and strong.
