Laser dentistry can be used as a part of periodontal disease treatment, but it's not a cure on its own.
Laser therapy, such as LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure), can help remove bacteria and infected tissue from the gums, promote gum tissue regeneration, and reduce pocket depth.
However, it's typically used with traditional periodontal treatments like scaling and root planing to effectively manage and control periodontal disease.
Regular dental visits, good oral hygiene, and lifestyle changes are also crucial for long-term management of periodontal disease.
