LASER GUM THERAPY
Why is Laser Treatment Better than the Conventional One?
- Since the laser is painless, there is no need for anesthesia
- Less bleeding and less infection (The laser beam in itself will coagulate the blood and kill all the germs.)
- It’s a faster procedure
- Discomfort, pain and swelling are significantly reduced
- Faster healing
- In most cases, there is no need to place sutures
- It’s safe for patients taking anticoagulants like Aspirin, Plavix, which need not be stopped prior to the laser procedures
- Less damage to the surrounding tissue
