McAllen, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/20/2015 -- One of the most insidious oral concerns of many is the periodontal diseases or periodontitis. Because of this condition, many people suffer from swollen painful gums and in some severe cases, there would also be bleeding. While most people manifest these signs and symptoms, these people would most likely to ignore it and seek professional dental help only when there have already been complications like loose teeth and bone loss. In this case, there may be a lesser chance to save the teeth.

The conditions could start with a simple plaque formation and this plaque is a sticky opaque film that coats the teeth. When there is plaque formation, bacteria may be harbored and lead to infection. The plaque could be removed by brushing and flossing, but when the proper techniques are not observed and practiced, the plaque may be more and it will be hardened; this could form into tartar and calculus. When tartar and calculi are present, the chance of developing infection is great. When gum disease sets in, the need for extensive dental hygiene and regular professional dental prophylaxis is necessary. However, if a patient is non-compliant to the treatment, formation of spaces and pockets between the teeth and gums occur which can be a cause of much severe infection of the bones and other connective tissues because they will start to break down and the there will be a need to extract the tooth when they become loose.

Untreated and undiagnosed, periodontal diseases are the main reasons why most conditions progress to advanced periodontitis. Many patients with this condition know that treatment is important, however, most of them tend to be apprehensive to the modalities of treatment which is why they do not comply with the treatment. One of the reasons why most patients do not come back to the dental clinic for treatment is because most traditional treatments for severe cases of periodontitis would involve surgery and the unbearable adverse effects.

With the latest innovations and technological advancements in the field of dentistry, experts have developed a much convenient and safer way to treat periodontal diseases without the discomforts of an incision and suture; this is the laser periodontal treatment. Using a highly specialized laser, professional dental specialists, could now perform a relatively less invasive procedure to treat periodontal diseases and other dental conditions.

In addition to this, when a patient undergoes periodontal laser treatment, healing is much faster with only a few tolerable side effects that are temporary. A procedure called laser bacterial reduction therapy could also be done to effectively eliminate the infection in the gums. And when the gum pockets have been treated and cleaned the need to maintain it with antibacterial mouthwashes is very important.
