The PerioLase® Laser

Periodontal disease is incurable. Its progression can be stopped but not reversed. Untreated periodontal (gum) disease can increase your risk of heart disease four fold. 80% of adults are unaware that they have some form of gum infection. Gum disease can cause tooth and bone loss. Bleeding or receding gums, bad breath, and a bad taste in your mouth may be early signs of periodontal disease. Dr. Hopgood uses Laser Periodontal Therapy are to: remove the diseased tissue without removing any of the healthy tissue, maintain the height of the tissue around teeth, minimize pain and discomfort to you, get a closure of the periodontal pocket and allow healing to take place. Controlling periodontal disease makes it possible to save and restore more of your teeth.
