A. Deep pocket measurements, bleeding, pus, swelling and redness indicate gum infection. The epithelium lining the pocket is a barrier to healing. Without laser intervention, this lining prevents the gums from reattaching to the root and healing the pocket. Gum infections worsen if left untreated and can result in tooth loss!
B. Gentle laser light selectively removes diseased tissue lining the pocket and destroys bacteria and toxins.
C. Tartar, plaque and other irritants are removed from the root surface by gentle sound waves and rinsing.
D. Another gentle pass with the laser finishes cleaning the root surface in crevices and deep areas not otherwise reachable. Gentle laser pulses also release special cells from the bone, gums and connective tissue. These important cells become suspended in a very stable fibrin clot. These special cells then function in pocket healing.
E. The tissue is compressed against the bone and root surface. A quick natural clot around your teeth prevents germs from recolonizing under your gums. Healing of your gums and reattachment to clean root and bone surfaces result in pocket closure and bone regrowth! Your rapid return to oral health begins immediately!
F. Heavy biting forces can rock and loosen your teeth. Doctor Clark carefully reshapes the biting surfaces of selected teeth reducing traumatic forces on your roots and bone. Sometimes very loose teeth must be stabilized to assure healing. Many people experience an immediate feeling of more comfortable biting and chewing.
G. Healing results in, sometimes dramatic, improvements in gum health and over-all body wellness. Because the infection is eradicated, natural body processes return to normal. The pockets heal and the bone grows back!
