In Honor of Dental Hygiene Month, Dr. Roman Shlafer Teaches Farmington, MI Residents How to Fight Gum Disease with Laser Gum Surgery
Farmington, MI (PRWEB) October 09, 2014 -- Dr. Roman Shlafer leads the fight against gum disease that his Farmington, MI patients suffer from with some help from twenty-first century laser technology. Among the warning signs of periodontitis, receding gums are often an indicator of serious trouble in the mouth. Many recent studies have shown that overall health of the body is linked closely to health of the mouth. If the bacteria that causes gum disease is present in the gums, there are recognized risks to other organs of the body that are related to the gum infection.
Fighting gum disease in Farmington, MI with advanced technology, Dr. Shlafer is among the one percent of dental professionals who are trained and certified to administer the LANAP® protocol. The technique uses a computer guided laser beam to treat gum disease. Dr. Shlafer teaches patients to watch out for symptoms of gum disease including signs such as:
• Bleeding gums
• Receding gums
• Discolored gums
• Swollen gum tissue
• Persistent mouth odor
Among the millions of Americans suffering with active periodontal disease, many have avoided gum surgery due to fear of the invasive traditional procedure. Some gum surgery still uses scalpels to cut away severely infected tissue and then uses stitches to reattach the gums. The pain level associated with the traditional surgery may be intense and recovery times lengthy. With the LANAP® laser periodontal therapy, however, gum disease can be treated in a few simple office visits with the minimally invasive procedure.
Using a computer guided, very small laser tool that is approximately the width of three human hairs, Dr. Shlafer can target periodontal disease below the gum line without cutting or stitching the delicate gum tissue. Patients report little or no bleeding and only mild discomfort with the laser procedure. Most people return to regular life activities within a day.
