Gum disease affects nearly 75 percent of all U.S. adults over the age of 35 and is the leading cause of adult tooth loss. But many of these cases go untreated. Gum disease is a progressive infection that begins with gingivitis and, left untreated, progresses to periodontitis.
This can create pockets between the teeth and gums, damaging the tissue and eventually bone. When left without intervention, gum disease can lead to an array of complications for your oral health and overall health. To prevent permanent damage to your smile, Dr. Chris Givens may recommend laser gum disease treatment.
Laser gum disease treatment can save your smile from the unforgiving effects of this common oral condition, especially when treatment is given in the earliest stages of gum disease. While traditional treatment necessitated the use of scalpels, sutures and stitches, modern technology has paved the way to laser gum disease treatment, a minimally-invasive alternative. Drs. Givens and Britt use the Ivoclar Odyssey Navigator Diode Laser to offer our patients a gum disease solution with the following benefits:
