If you have problems with periodontal disease, you can face more threats to your overall well-being than you realize. The bacteria that are present below your gum line can damage tissues and cause tooth loss. These microbes can also create problems elsewhere in your body when they travel through your bloodstream. At our Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontal practice, we can offer helpful treatment options, including advanced care with laser technology. Lasers improve the patient experience with treatment for advanced gum disease. These tools offer more precise care, and they can shorten your recovery period after treatment.
