Restore Health In Your Gums with Gum Disease Therapy

A shocking statistic, it is shown that about 80 percent of Americans suffer from some form of gum disease. If you are unsure as to whether or not you are suffering from gum disease, some side effects are red and swollen gums, gums that bleed when you brush or floss, a constant bad taste in your mouth, and gums that are sensitive to the touch. If gum disease is left to its own devices, it has the potential to lead to more severe bodily harm, such as bone loss, tooth loss, heart disease , dementia, stroke, and much more.

One way that we are able to treat gum disease is by scaling and root planing. This allows Dr. Hogan to remove the harmful bacteria from below your gum line. This also lets him smooth out the rough surfaces on your tooth’s root that have been damaged by the plaque and tartar.

Dr. Hogan also utilizes the latest advances in laser gum therapy to address gum disease.  The LANAP ^® Laser Gum Therapy system is a minimally invasive laser technology that allows Dr. Hogan to treat more advanced cases of gum disease without the need for more traditional and invasive surgical techniques.

We will also be able to create a personalized treatment plan for your gum disease, being able to address your specific needs in the best way possible. If you would like Dr. Hogan’s help in addressing your gum disease, make an appointment at our office today!
