Dr. Darryl Field Can Now Help Prevent Bone Loss with Laser Gum Disease Treatment in Jacksonville, FL
Jacksonville, FL (PRWEB) April 20, 2014 -- Patients of Dr. Darryl Field can improve their oral health while preventing bone loss and tooth loss with a gum surgery alternative, the Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP®). Jacksonville patients who choose this gum disease treatment benefit from a low risk of complications and an improved likelihood of their teeth being saved. The procedure also offers patients less pain and a faster healing period than conventional surgery.
The laser that Dr. Field uses to remove periodontal disease during LANAP®, the Periolase® MVP-7™, offers a few effects that are advantageous for oral health. The laser only diseased tissue and bacteria so patients do not lose healthy gum tissue during the procedure. The laser also has a stimulating effect on the alveolar bone that anchors them. This stimulation causes regeneration in the bone, which can help support the teeth. The successful removal of periodontal disease also reduces the risk of teeth being lost in the future.
Preventing bone loss and tooth loss is more important than many patients realize. Tooth loss can cause several problems, from difficulty eating to changes in bite alignment that cause jaw and neck pain. Once teeth have been lost, bone loss will follow, since the alveolar bone only maintains itself when it receives stimulation from teeth. Bone loss can be a lifelong process that changes the shape of the mouth and the appearance of the face. Results may be visible in as little as a year after tooth loss. Though Dr. Field offers treatments such as dental implants to stabilize bone density, he recommends that patients be proactive about protecting their health by seeking gum disease treatment in Jacksonville early.
Early symptoms of gum disease include inflammation, bleeding and tenderness of the gums. People who notice these symptoms may be at risk for tooth and bone loss if they do not promptly seek treatment. Anyone who needs to schedule an appointment for gum disease treatment in Jacksonville is welcome to call Dr. Field’s office directly. People who want more information on how LANAP® helps in preventing bone loss and other periodontal disease complications are encouraged to visit Dr. Field’s website.
