Laser Bacterial Reduction – What is laser bacterial reduction and when is it used?
As part of our therapy for periodontal disease, we have an effective treatment called Laser Bacterial Reduction that helps us control the infection in your mouth. Laser is used together with scaling and root planing to significantly reduce the depth of the infected pockets and prevent the progression of the disease. The Laser decontamination process is painless and normally takes 5-10 minutes. We recommend that all of our patients have their teeth and surrounding tissues decontaminated during their periodontal maintenance appointments. Click here for detailed information and video.
