Treating Your Gums With Pocket Depth Reduction

Office Woman Dallas TXHave you started to see a shift in your gumline? If you have noticed a change to your gums, take the time to talk with a trusted periodontist about ways that you can improve your oral health. As plaque and tartar form around the base of your teeth, they can lead to the inflammation and infection of your periodontal tissue. When this progresses, a pocket can form where bacteria can thrive. Even with a thorough brushing, you could be unsuccessful at removing the plaque and tartar from beneath your gumline.

At our periodontal office in Dallas, TX, we can help you to treat your gum disease with a procedure known as pocket depth reduction. This process helps you to regain control of your gumline through the improvement of your periodontal pocket. When these areas are minor, could be able to help fight your condition with a deep cleaning. If your instance of periodontal disease has progressed to a more severe stage, talk to our team about how pocket depth reduction can help you.

Park Cities Periodontics And Implant Dentistry can provide this service while using advanced laser tools. The PerioLase tool is used for this Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP). In using this approach, we make work on your tissues more conservative.
