Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of gum disease?
Common signs include bleeding gums when brushing or flossing, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums, and loose teeth. If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule an appointment as soon as possible.
Is laser gum treatment painful?
Our AMD Picasso laser causes little to no discomfort during treatment. It precisely targets only infected tissue while leaving healthy tissue intact, and it reduces bleeding and inflammation compared to traditional methods.
Can gum disease be reversed?
Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) can often be reversed with professional cleaning and improved oral hygiene. More advanced periodontitis can be managed and controlled, but the damage may not be fully reversible, which is why early treatment is so important.
