• 

Dr. Steven N. Rice, Board Certified Periodontist, Now Offers the FDA Cleared Laser Surgery for Periodontal Disease Treatment.

Rockville, MD (PRWEB) June 28, 2012

Dr. Steven N. Rice is now providing patients who require periodontal disease treatment with the only federally cleared dental laser procedure in the country, Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure. Relatively few dentists are trained on this procedure - only about one percent of practitioners in the country are able to use it in their practices. Dr. Rice would love to be able to help residents in the Rockville area who require gum disease treatment to have as many options as possible. Gum disease afflicts millions of Americans each year, and there are far-reaching health concerns for patients who are not treated.

The basic LANAP procedure of periodontal disease treatment uses a laser with a fiber optic tip to eliminate unhealthy gum tissue and bacteria that has collected in gum pockets, or the areas where the gums are supposed to meet the teeth. The laser does not negatively impact the remaining healthy tissue, so gum recession is minimal. The healthy tissue is compacted against the root to help stimulate re-attachment, and the bone regeneration centers are also stimulated. This helps the bone to strengthen as new bone grows, and more teeth can be saved.

There are a number of health issues that have been linked to gum disease including low birth-weight babies, pancreatic cancer, diabetes and even heart disease. This is why Dr. Rice feels it is so important for patients to seek gum disease treatment. The LANAP procedure provides patients with another choice for treatment.
