What to Know About Laser Periodontal Therapy

Laser gum therapy uses focused light energy as part of periodontal treatment. Depending on the type of laser and treatment approach, it may be used to target diseased or inflamed gum tissue and assist with treatment around the gumline.

Laser treatment is not appropriate for every gum condition. Your dentist or periodontal care provider first needs to evaluate the severity and type of gum disease and determine which treatment options are suitable.

When Is Laser Gum Treatment Considered?

Laser-assisted periodontal treatment may be considered as part of care for certain gum conditions. An assessment may be appropriate if you notice:

  • Bleeding gums: Frequent bleeding while brushing or flossing can be a sign of gum inflammation.
  • Swollen gums: Persistent swelling or tenderness should be evaluated.
  • Persistent bad breath: Ongoing bad breath can sometimes be associated with gum disease.
  • Deep gum pockets: Deeper spaces around the teeth may require more involved periodontal care.
  • Gum recession: Receding gums can expose more of the tooth and may require evaluation.
  • Loose teeth: Tooth mobility can occur with advanced periodontal problems and should be assessed.
  • Recurring gum inflammation: Gum problems that continue despite routine care may require additional treatment.
  • Periodontal concerns: Your dentist may recommend additional treatment when routine cleaning alone is not sufficient.

A holistic dentist in Calgary can review your oral health and explain whether laser-assisted periodontal treatment is suitable for you.

  • Improved access: Laser instruments can assist with treatment in areas that are difficult to reach.
  • Comfort-focused care: Treatment can be planned around your individual comfort needs.
  • Support for gum treatment: Laser therapy may be used alongside other periodontal treatments when appropriate.
