Dr. Jonathan R. Tiger Extends Patient Services to Ramapo, NY, Now Offers Area Residents Modern Laser Gum Disease Treatment
Ramapo, NY (PRWEB) December 19, 2014 -- Dr. Jonathan R. Tiger, a periodontist in Pomona, NY, now accepts patients from Ramapo, NY who are interested in state-of-the-art gum disease treatment. He is one of the few dental professionals in the country who is certified to perform the LANAP® protocol, an FDA-cleared laser gum surgery that does not involve the cutting and suturing of traditional scalpel procedures.
Bad breath, bleeding or receding gums are three common symptoms of gum disease, and individuals in Ramapo, NY who notice any of these signs are encouraged to visit Dr. Tiger. Good oral hygiene, such as brushing, flossing and professional dental cleanings, is the best way to fight against gum disease. Sometimes, these preventative measures are not enough because of additional risk factors. Hormonal changes, medication and tobacco use increase the likelihood of infection and require extra monitoring by a dental professional.
As gum disease advances, it creates many problems. The infection pulls the gums away from the teeth as deep pockets form and harbor bacteria. The pockets allow bacteria to enter the bloodstream and circulate throughout the body. Scientists believe this is the link between gum disease and other health problems such as diabetes, cancer and heart disease.
For patients in Ramapo, NY who are concerned about gum disease but also feel anxious about the treatment procedure, Dr. Tiger offers a less traumatic option. He uses the LANAP® protocol, which is a minimally invasive laser gum surgery that clears away bacteria and infection. The tip of the PerioLase® MVP-7™ laser targets bacteria below the gum line, so there is no need to make cuts to access the affected area. Once bacteria is eradicated, tartar is cleaned from the teeth and the laser is used again to encourage the gums to reattach to the roots for a full recovery. Patients can expect the healing process to take days rather than the weeks required after scalpel surgery.
Individuals interested in scheduling a consultation to learn about the benefits of laser gum surgery can find more information on Dr. Tiger’s website.
