Laser Therapy in the Treatment of Gum Disease by Green Valley Dentist, Dr. Dawnie L. Kildoo

Legacy Smiles of Southern Arizona/Dr. Dawnie Kildoo offers Laser Therapy.  Laser therapy is a conservative non-surgical treatment for your periodontal disease. With proper homecare and your participation, this procedure can often alleviate the problem.

Before using the laser we will go through the process of scaling and root planing.The laser is used after the tartar and calculus is removed and will remove diseased or infected tissues lining the pockets around your teeth. At the same time the laser will kill the bacteria that cause your gum disease and will help promote healthy healing of the gums around your teeth. Lasers are used because of the precise control they afford the dentist and the comfort they provide to patients.  For more information on Laser Therapy, contact our office at (520) 625-0131 or talk with Dr. Kildoo or your Dental Hygienist at your next visit to find out if you are a candidate for this treatment.
