You may not realize that persistent swollen, red or bleeding gums, tooth sensitivity, and bad breath are warning signs of periodontal disease.

Dentures Philadelphia

During your first visit, your periodontist will review your complete medical and dental history with you. It's extremely important for your periodontist to know if you are taking any medications or being treated for any condition that can affect your periodontal care. You will be given a complete oral and periodontal exam. Your periodontist will examine your gums, check to see if there is any gum line recession, assess how your teeth fit together when you bite and check your teeth to see if any are loose. Your periodontist will also take a small measuring instrument and place it between your teeth and gums to determine the depth of those spaces, known as periodontal pockets. This helps your periodontist assess the health of your gums. Radiographs (x-rays) may be used to show the bone levels between your teeth to check for possible bone loss.

Why is Laser Periodontal Therapy ( LPT)™ Better for the Treatment of Gum Disease?

WHY IS LPT™ better for the treatment of gum disease?

• LPT^TM is about as easy as erasing a blackboard — there's no cutting and no suturing.
  
• There's much less discomfort with LASER PERIODONTAL THERAPY^TM than with standard surgery -- during and after the procedure.
  
• It takes less time than traditional surgery. All it takes is two 2-hour visits to the dentist and two follow up visits. Traditional surgery requires four sessions of about one hour each, with subsequent visits for suture removal and additional check-ups.
  
• LPT^TM gives better, longer-lasting results. In fact, 98% of LPT^TM treated patients remain stable after five years, while only 5% reportedly remain stable after surgery.
  
• Your dentist will probably recommend a soft diet for a day or two, and common sense should prevail, but in most cases, patients feel good enough to eat anything they want right after the procedure.
  
• Following traditional surgery, recovery can take between to 2-4 weeks during which patients can experience considerable pain and swelling, where they may be restricted to liquid or soft diets.
  
• There's less than 24 hour recovery period, so you won't lose time from work.
  
• LASER PERIODONTAL THERAPY^TM is safe for patients with health concerns such as diabetes, HIV, hemophilia, or those taking medications such as Plavix or aspirin.
