Drs. Richard Amato and Michael Kang Treat Gum Disease in Monroe, CT with Minimally Invasive LANAP® Laser Gum Therapy

MONROE, Conn., Oct. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Drs. Richard Amato and Michael Kang of Advanced Periodontics and Dental Implant Center of Connecticut are urging people with diagnosed or suspected gum disease in Monroe, CT to consider the value of LANAP® laser gum therapy to treat their symptoms. Both periodontists are highly trained in this minimally invasive method of reducing gum disease and its symptoms. Signs of gum disease include sensitive teeth, swollen gums, painful gum areas and bleeding gums.

Gum disease is a common problem that stems from a build-up of bacteria in the periodontal pockets. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about half of adults in the United States over age 30 have gum disease, whether they realize it or not. If gum disease causing bacteria continue to grow without intervention, they spread throughout the mouth and destroy healthy gum tissue, causing significant tooth, bone and soft tissue damage. This inevitably leads to tooth loss and the potential for systemic issues like heightened risk of heart disease.

The LANAP laser gum surgery protocol involves a minimally invasive technique to curb bacterial growth between the teeth and gums. Simultaneously, the laser allows Drs. Amato and Kang to improve the state of a patient's gums. The goal of LANAP® laser gum surgery is to minimize the effects of gum disease and stop advancement of the problem. With consistent management treatments, gum disease can be controlled. If caught during its earliest stage, gingivitis, it may even be cured.

In addition to helping patients with gum disease, LANAP® laser gum therapy can be used in lieu of pocket depth reduction, also known as osseous surgery. Rather than using more invasive metal instruments, the periodontists can rely on the power of lasers to effectively smooth the bone areas below the gum lines that have been affected by gum disease. The process of smoothing the bone reduces the amount of bacteria that will cling to the rough surfaces and encourages reattachment between the gums and teeth.

Those suffering from gum disease, or who are experiencing symptoms like bleeding gums in Monroe, CT, can connect with Drs. Amato or Kang from a consultation.
