Dr. Kerry Goad Now Offers Laser Gum Disease Treatment to Patients in Garland, TX
Garland, TX (PRWEB) April 21, 2014 -- Dr. Kerry Goad now offers the Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP®), an alternative to traditional gum disease treatment, to his patients in Garland, TX. This procedure offers patients less pain and a faster recovery time than conventional surgery. It also provides the same benefits as traditional surgery by treating periodontal disease and its symptoms, like bleeding gums, and lowering the risk of other health problems associated with gum disease.
Proper treatment of gum disease is crucial for people who wish to avoid complications such as gum recession, tooth loss and even bone loss. Research indicates people with periodontal disease may also be at a greater risk of developing chronic health problems such as heart disease and stroke. Dr. Goad offers LANAP® to patients in Garland, TX so that people who might normally postpone conventional surgery can receive the gum disease treatment they need promptly.
LANAP® appeals to many of Dr. Goad’s patients because the procedure minimizes damage to healthy tissue. Patients typically do not experience a slow recovery or symptoms such as bleeding gums. During the procedure, Dr. Goad inspects the patient’s gum pockets before using a specialized laser, the PerioLase® MVP-7™, to remove the bacteria and diseased tissue. This technique ensures that healthy tissue is not damaged during the procedure. Once the diseased tissue has been removed, Dr. Goad uses a scaling tool to remove tartar below the gum line. To finish the surgery, he uses the laser again to stimulate bone growth and blood clot formation, reducing the likelihood of tooth loss and infection.
Dr. Goad advises patients to be attentive to common gum disease symptoms. These include swelling, redness, bleeding gums, pain and loosening of teeth. Patients who seek treatment sooner than later may avoid many of the oral and general health complications associated with the disease. Patients who think they may have periodontal disease should visit Dr. Goad’s website or call his office to set up an appointment for gum disease treatment in Garland, TX.
