How will LPD help me?
By removing the inflammation, your body has the energy to heal naturally. The laser light kills bacteria and creates a clean, environment for healing. Am I a candidate for LPD?
If you have gingivitis, LPD can help reverse symptoms. LPD can also be used to treat patients on a perio-maintence program. Does LPD Hurt?
Not at all! LPS is quick and painless. If you are very sensitive, a topical anesthetic may be used. Are there any side effects?
There are no known side-effects of LPD in over 25 years of therapy, just bigger smiles! The treatment is safe for use around crowns, bridges, sealants, and implants. Why do I need to treat gum disease?
Gum disease has been linked to serious health concerns including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, pre-term birth, certain cancers, and more. |
