Charlotte, NC Periodontal Disease is Now Treated with Laser Gum Disease Treatment by Dr. Shannon Parsons at Carolina Periodontics
Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) August 06, 2013 -- Periodontist Dr. Shannon Parsons recently added the Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure to the comprehensive list of services offered at his Charlotte, NC practice. Prior to LANAP®, patients in Charlotte, NC with periodontal disease could only restore their oral health through invasive traditional surgery requiring a scalpel to remove the bacteria. Many patients, dreading the pain, bleeding, and longer healing time that often accompanies this type of gum disease treatment, postpone seeking the care they critically need.
Patients who defer gum disease treatment dramatically increase their risk for a number of other serious health hazards. Advanced periodontitis provides a direct path for bacteria to enter the blood stream and circulate throughout the body. Consequently, gum disease can serve as the catalyst for systemic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, respiratory disease, and ischemic stroke. Given the prevalence of periodontitis among American adults, educating patients about the associated health hazards and their gum disease treatment options is more important than ever before.
LANAP® is a minimally invasive gum disease treatment alternative that offers many advantages over traditional surgery. In addition to a far more comfortable patient experience, which includes less bleeding and gum recession, Dr. Parsons can often save teeth that would have otherwise been extracted. LANAP® uses the highly sophisticated PerioLase® MVP-7™, the only FDA cleared laser on the market for gum disease, to vaporize bacteria as well as stimulate the bone surrounding the root of the tooth and encourage bone regeneration.
Despite the procedure’s many benefits, only one percent of dental professionals in the country are currently certified to perform LANAP®. Dr. Parsons encourages anyone in Charlotte, NC with periodontal disease to take advantage of their proximity to a LANAP® certified periodontist and call his office at (980) 272-5772 to schedule a consultation today.
