Periodontal disease is an infection of the gums that starts out as plaque – an opaque film on the teeth that hardens to form calculus or tartar. As tartar accumulates, it harbors bacteria which attack the soft tissue around the gums. This early stage of gum disease is called Gingivitis. Here at the office of Ressler, Hirschl, & Lelchuk, DDS, PA, our doctors can address the underlying infection that causes it with a procedure called Laser Bacterial Reduction (LBR).
With laser treatment, there are many reported benefits such as a reduced need for local anesthesia, minimal bleeding, and swelling is controlled with minimal discomfort. Laser light energy is used to vaporize the bacteria and infected tissue in the deepened gum pocket. This procedure is painless, takes less than 10 minutes and reduces the bacteria around your gums from billions to hundreds. Our doctors recommend that all of our patients have their teeth decontaminated prior to cleaning appointments.
