Laser gum treatment offers a less invasive alternative to traditional methods like scaling and root planing. Instead of scraping away plaque and tartar with dental instruments, a precise laser targets and removes the infected gum tissue. This usually results in less bleeding and discomfort, often eliminating the need for stitches. Additionally, laser treatment promotes quicker healing and minimizes the risk of infection, making it an increasingly popular option for tackling gum disease and other periodontal issues.
