Does Your Family need a Dentist? Silicon Valley Dr. Barney Lim Uses Laser Treatments

Parents should always make sure their children floss daily, brush their teeth, and visit the dentist. Silicon Valley has many to choose from.  You must set the example. Instilling good habits as soon as kids are old enough to brush is crucial. If children grow up into adults that brush regularly they are much less likely to develop gum disease. Although there is a genetic component to periodontal disease the leading cause of advanced and chronic periodontitis is neglecting the gums.

Plaque is the sticky film found on tooth enamel. If dental plaque is not removed within twenty-six hours it becomes tarter. Tarter is really what causes periodontal disease. You are really sabotaging yourself if you neglect your own oral hygiene and don’t set a good example for your children. Research indicates that you can expose others to disease if you are infected. Families can pass the diseased bacteria through saliva like the common cold.

If someone in your family is showing symptoms of gum disease it is very serious and may require surgery. The traditional method for eliminating the toxic tarter build up at the gum line is a brutal cut and stitch method that is long and painful.

Silicon Valley Dr. Barney Lim is the leader an alternative laser treatment. It is much less painful and only requires two – two hour visits.

Lasers are cutting edge technology delivered through a tiny beam of highly concentrated light. The energy being brought to your gums from a laser is concentrated and controllable. Lasers sterilize the affected gums and seal off blood vessels which cuts down on infection and bleeding.

When lasers are used for surgery they put strong yet manageable energy into tissue to achieve whatever biological effect is required. Lasers have been widely used throughout medicine since the 1960s. Shortly after their invention, lasers were researched for their effectiveness in gum treatment and have recently been used by dentist.
