Dr. Kenneth Peavy Utilizes Advanced Minimally Invasive Laser Dentistry to Celebrate Dental Hygiene Month at his Winston Salem, NC Practice
Winston Salem, NC (PRWEB) October 05, 2015 -- Dr. Kenneth Peavy, a periodontist in Winston Salem, NC, is encouraging patients with gum disease to investigate treatment for the condition this October, in honor of Dental Hygiene Month. Dr. Peavy is the only provider of LANAP® laser dentistry in Winston Salem, NC, and he knows the extreme benefits associated with the procedure when patients opt to undergo the LANAP® protocol, for the treatment of their periodontal disease.
Periodontal disease is a serious condition that has been scientifically linked to many dangerous health problems. These include diabetes, stroke, heart attack, pancreatic cancer, and low birth-weight babies. Unfortunately, the condition begins quietly, usually as nothing more than swollen, bleeding gums. If ignored, it can progress quickly into periodontitis, which involves deep areas of infection within the gums, known as periodontal pockets. Gum disease affects millions of people around the world, but it remains largely untreated until serious consequences begin to arise.
To treat gum disease and prevent it from progressing further, Dr. Peavy recommends the LANAP® protocol. This laser dentistry procedure is available at his office in Winston Salem, NC. The procedure works by removing harmful bacteria and infected tissue with the laser. The healthy tissue remains unaffected, so patients typically experience little pain, discomfort or bleeding after the procedure. After removing any plaque from the teeth, the doctor uses the laser to form a blood clot within the pocket and then presses it against the teeth, to create a tight seal against infection. This allows the gums to reattach to the teeth and once again form a strong, cohesive bond.
Those who would like to learn more about undergoing laser dentistry in Winston Salem, NC, in honor of Dental Hygiene Month are invited to contact Dr. Peavy’s office.
