No Cutting. No Problem!<\/h3>\n<p>Now that dental lasers can be used instead of scalpels to remove gum disease infection, patients can experience more comfortable treatment.<\/p>\n<p>No scalpel means no cutting.<\/p>\n<p>And no cutting means no stitching and less bleeding!<\/p>\n<p>Laser therapy is a less invasive alternative in modern gum disease treatment that makes it easier, especially for anxious patients, to restore their oral health.<\/p>\n<h3>#2 &#8211; It Makes Healing Faster &amp; Easier<\/h3>\n<p>With any medical or dental procedure that involves cutting and stitching, there\u2019s always a risk for post-op infection. That\u2019s precisely the problem gum disease treatment is trying to solve!<\/p>\n<p>Another issue is healing time, which is longer when you\u2019ve had any tissue cut and stitched.<\/p>\n<p>Both potential problems are more easily avoided with dental lasers, because after the infected tissue has been removed, the area is cauterized for faster, easier recovery.<\/p>\n<h3>#3 &#8211; Your Healthy Gums Can Stay That Way!<\/h3>\n<p>Another advantage of using lasers to treat gum disease is precision. A scalpel, even in very capable hands, can still get some of your healthy gum tissue unnecessarily as the infected tissue is being removed. A laser, on the other hand, can be more carefully navigated around healthy tissue to remove infected areas deep underneath and around your gumline.<\/p>\n<h3>#4 &#8211; The Only Thing That WILL Be Cut Is Time!<\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019ve already learned that there\u2019s no cutting or stitching in laser gum treatment, but there is one thing that will be cut, and we promise it isn\u2019t scary!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time.<\/p>\n<p>The time you spend in the dental chair can be reduced, not only because the procedure itself is more efficient than traditional gum surgery, but it gets you back on the road to recovery from the effects of gum disease faster.<\/p>\n<p>Treating gum disease in the early stages can help you avoid complicated, costly dental treatments in the future, such as tooth replacement procedures, which can also cut down the time you spend at the dentist office.<\/p>\n<p>When your gum health is restored, you can eventually get back to routine dental appointments about every six months and keep better track of any changes to your oral health before they advance into more complicated problems.<\/p>\n<h2>Call Today For An Appointment!<\/h2>\n<p>It takes special training and technology to incorporate modern, more comfortable and efficient techniques into a dental practice.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why Dr. Finley and our team are able to offer gum disease treatment with dental lasers, something you won\u2019t find just anywhere.
