HOW CAN NU-GEN MANAGE AND TREAT PERIODONTAL DISEASE?

LASER ASSISTED PERIODONTAL THERAPY
(LAPT)

Laser Assisted Periodontal Therapy is the latest invention in periodontal infection removal. The laser uses a specific wave length to target and destroy diseased tissue and bacteria from periodontal pockets without damaging healthy tissue. It is a non-surgical, safe and minimally invasive procedure. Throughout the treatment, we will take necessary measures to ensure patient comfort.

GUIDED BIOFILM THERAPY (GBT)

Guided Biofilm Therapy is a systematic and predictable solution for dental biofilm management using state of the art technology. When implementing this application for periodontal disease management, we can effectively manage bacterial colonization for predictable positive outcome.

WHAT IS PERIODONTAL DISEASE?

Periodontal (gum) disease is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place. This condition begins with a sticky film of bacteria, known as biofilm, to form on the teeth allowing plaque to build up and harden. Once plaque hardens into tartar, it can not be physically removed until it is professionally addressed. The initial symptoms of this disease are swollen, red and bleeding gums. If left untreated, it can spread to bone and surrounding gums. There are several risk factors for gum disease such as smoking, diabetes, and certain illnesses to name a few.

Symptoms To Watch For:

Gums may be red, swollen, tender or bleeding.
The gums may pull away from the teeth, making the teeth appear longer.
Teeth can be loose or sensitive.
There may be pain and persistent bad breath.
