Practice stands out from other dental clinics in Wichita KS with disease-fighting techniques and lasers

Almost 50 percent of American adults over 30 suffer from gum disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This progressive condition poses a threat to not only the health of your gums and teeth, but also to the health of your heart, bones, and brain.

It’s thought bacteria and inflammation associated with advanced gum disease is to blame. Partner with a dental team whose technology and knowledge effectively prevent the development of disease, or halt its progression. Damage from gum disease in its earlier stages can be reversed.

Patient Education

Check-ups and cleanings at least every six months are crucial. After consulting with you and examining your mouth, the East Wichita Dentist team may suggest techniques for more effective brushing and flossing to remove sticky, bacteria-laden plaque.

Modifications to your lifestyle may also be suggested; for example, reach for water or sugar-free beverages instead of soda. If you must consume sugary drinks, do so quickly, rather than sipping on them.

Lasers

Unlike other Dental Clinics in Wichita KS, your East Wichita Dentist doesn’t rely on invasive surgery to treat gum disease. Instead, three different types of lasers are available to suit the needs of each patient. bacteria present in the shallow areas around the tooth where plaque accumulates is accessed and removed.

Considered a more comfortable alternative to conventional periodontal treatments, laser therapy is associated with:

• Less bleeding, pain, other unwanted side effects
• Precision treatment
• Fast healing

Since gum disease can travel from the mouth to the rest of your body, systemic medications may be prescribed. Whatever your needs, there is a treatment that fits you, your smile, your bite, and your budget! Call or fill out the online contact form to schedule an appointment.
