Periodontitis (infection of the Gums) is caused by microorganisms. Periodontitis causes progressive loss of bone around the teeth, and if left untreated, causes loosening and consequent loss of teeth. Removal of plaque and calculus is essential to establish periodontal health. The traditional method of treatment is Flap Surgery which is invasive and painful. Laser assisted procedure is a non-invasive, and a gentle alternative to the scalpel and suture procedure. There is no loss of gum tissue and pain is minimal because no cutting is involved.
