The Problem with Pockets
Periodontal pockets are spaces between the gums and teeth that can become infected. These problematic pockets can be caused by a number of factors, including poor oral hygiene, smoking and certain medical conditions. However, if left untreated, periodontal pockets can lead to more severe issues, such as tooth loss and jaw bone deterioration.
Laser Pocket Reduction is an effective method for reducing the depth of periodontal pockets. Scheduling regular dental appointments and getting your pockets measured by the dental team is essential because the deeper pockets become, the more likely they are to become infected.
With laser pocket reduction, you can say goodbye to deep periodontal pockets and hello to a healthier, happier smile.
Laser pocket reduction is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a laser to remove bacteria and diseased tissue from around your teeth. This cutting-edge technology not only removes harmful bacteria, but also promotes healing and sterilizes the area.
Benefits of Laser Pocket Reduction
Laser Pocket Reduction, Portland Periodontics knows, is gaining popularity as a minimally invasive procedure that typically requires only local anesthesia.
The laser cauterizes blood vessels as it works, which means less bleeding during the procedure. This also can reduce swelling and inflammation after the procedure.
Because laser pocket reduction is less invasive than traditional surgery, patients can usually return to normal activities immediately after the procedure.
The laser allows the dental professional to see the affected area more clearly. This ability can be instrumental in detecting and treating any other issues.
