Lasers use tiny, focused beams to gently remove damaged tissue and bacteria, promoting better healing than traditional tools by minimizing damage to the surrounding healthy tissue. It’s a modern, less invasive approach that offers the best results and supports gum reattachment.
After your periodontal treatment in Decatur, it’s important to follow your dentist’s post-care instructions, including rinsing with salt water, to ensure a smooth recovery. Caring for your gums is like tending to a garden—consistency is key.
Regular cleanings every 90 days, warm saltwater rinses, and wearing a night-time splint can help you keep your gums in optimal shape. Dr. Meyer and Dr. Clough are here to help you protect your smile and your well-being, helping you prevent gum diseases that can lead to tooth loss.
