What is laser gum therapy used for?

Laser gum therapy is used to treat gum disease by removing infected tissue and bacteria from around the teeth while preserving healthy gum structure. It helps reduce pocket depth, control inflammation, and promote natural healing. This minimally invasive treatment can also be used for gum reshaping and to improve overall gum health, often with less bleeding and faster recovery than traditional surgical methods.

How long does it take for gums to heal after laser treatment?

Healing after laser gum therapy is typically faster than with conventional gum surgery. Many patients notice improvement within a few days, with initial healing occurring in one to two weeks. Complete gum reattachment and tissue regeneration may take several weeks. Because lasers are precise and gentle, swelling and discomfort are usually minimal, allowing patients to return to normal activities quickly.

How painful is gum lasering?

Gum lasering is generally well tolerated and much less painful than traditional gum surgery. Most patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure, as the laser seals nerve endings and blood vessels. Local anesthesia is commonly used, and for anxious patients, sedation options such as nitrous oxide can be made available to ensure a calm, comfortable experience.

How is laser gum therapy part of holistic dentistry?

Laser gum therapy offers a minimally invasive, biocompatible approach to treating gum disease. It reduces the need for harsh chemicals, extensive surgery, or prolonged medication use. By supporting the body’s natural healing processes and minimizing trauma, laser therapy helps improve oral health while promoting overall wellness, a core principle of holistic dental care.
