Laser PDM can help eliminate infection and heal diseased gums which otherwise could lead to early tooth loss. A tiny fiber is placed between the gum and teeth. Then, a small amount of light energy from a laser is directed through a tiny fiber, which is gently placed between the gum and tooth. This light energy aids in reducing the bacteria associated with the disease. After the area is thoroughly cleaned, the body can heal the area naturally.
Tartar causes gums to become inflamed, red, sore, and sometimes bleed.
Pocket depth is measured. The tartar is removed and the laser treats the area and allows natural healing to occur. Although the procedure itself can be virtually painless, however, the area may be anesthetized for your comfort. In this way the laser can be precisely directed for treatment. Post-procedure discomfort is typically less intense and of shorter duration than conventional periodontal surgery.
