Frequently Asked Questions
What causes gum disease?
Gum disease (periodontitis) is usually caused by plaque buildup, a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth. Poor oral hygiene, smoking, stress, hormonal changes, and even genetics can increase risk. If untreated, the infection can destroy the bone that supports your teeth and lead to tooth loss.
Is laser treatment for gums safe?
Yes. Laser periodontal therapy is one of the safest and least invasive methods available. It uses focused light energy to remove infected tissue and kill bacteria without cutting the gums. Patients experience less bleeding, faster healing, and minimal discomfort compared to traditional surgery.
Can gum disease be reversed?
In its early stage, gingivitis, the condition is reversible with professional cleaning and improved home care. However, once it progresses to periodontitis, treatment focuses on controlling the disease and preventing further bone loss. With consistent maintenance and hygiene, you can keep it stable and protect your smile for years.
How can I prevent gum problems long-term?
Preventing gum disease requires a mix of daily care and professional monitoring. Brush twice a day, floss regularly, and schedule periodontal cleanings every six months. A balanced diet, hydration, and quitting smoking can dramatically improve gum health. Prevention is the best investment for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
