For mild to moderate gum disease (gingivitis and early periodontitis)

The purpose of this treatment is to bring the gum tissue back into a state of health without gum surgery. Instead of a scalpel, a laser is used to gently and painlessly remove the disease-causing bacteria from the pocket, reduce the swelling of the pocket, vaporize the infected gum tissue and make the gum tissue healthy again. This highly effective procedure is usually performed without making the patient numb with anesthesia.
