Laser with Dental Cleaning
The first step in cleaning out the gum tissue is to remove the calculus and tartar. Then the hygienist uses a laser to clean and sterilize the gum tissue and also bio-stimulate the gum tissue. This allows the gum tissue to be bacteria-free and to reattach to the tooth.
Periodontal disease is a local inflammatory process in gingival tissue caused by the body’s response to a bacterial insult. Universal standards of wound care for periodontal disease include ultrasonics, hand instrumentation, and laser debridement of the wound.
