After your troubles with gingivitis are treated, you can see your gums recover from several unsightly issues. Common symptoms of gingivitis include swelling of your gum tissues, reddening, and a tendency to bleed. With that said, people who struggle with periodontal infections, and periodontal disease, can find that certain problems arise that have a more consequential effect on their smile. One problem in particular is a recession of your gum tissues. Gum line recession can hurt the quality of your smile, while also exposing portions of your teeth that are more sensitive, and more vulnerable to decay. At our Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontal practice, Dr. Kania can provide treatment through a pinhole gum grafting procedure, which relies on a more conservative approach to restoring a person’s gum line!

What Role Can Laser Treatment Play In Periodontal Care?
Fighting periodontal disease is important, as the problem can create notable consequences if it is not managed. At the initial stage of an infection, when someone experiences gingivitis, they can experience periodontal swelling, reddening, and bleeding. When the problem progresses, the bacteria that accumulate under your gums can start causing serious damage to the tissues that keep your teeth in place. That destruction can cause a person to suffer tooth loss over time. In addition to affecting your smile and oral health, periodontal disease can also elevate your risk for suffering heart disease! At our Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontal practice, we can fight the bacteria under your gums by using advanced, laser-based periodontal treatment! (more…)
