How to Treat Your Gum Disease – Silicon Valley Dr. Uses Laser Treatment

Is it just gingivitis or is it full blown gum disease? Silicon Valley Periodontist Dr. Barney Lim is an expert that can help you answer that question.  No matter what you think the cause could be, bleeding gums are a serious matter and is a sign that you are in the early stages of gum disease. Silicon Valley is home to the leader in laser treatment for the disease.

Gingivitis, considered the earliest stage of gum disease, is characterized by plaque and tarter build up at the gum line. Gingivitis makes the gums red and puffy and causes bleeding when you floss. At this point the bone and fibers keeping your teeth secure haven’t been affected. Gingivitis is completely reversible. Unfortunately many people wait until things are much worse before getting treatment.

Periodontisis is the middle stage of gum disease and it means that plaque has spread to the root of the tooth. The infection is raging and has damaged the supporting structures that hold teeth secure. Eventually this leads to the development of pockets that trap bacteria. If treated at this stage further damage, such as tooth loss, can be prevented.

The final stage of gum disease is called advanced periodontitis and it means that the fibers that hold your teeth in place are ruined. During this stage teeth may need to be extracted to avoid further damage.

Dr. Barney Lim is a specialist who uses an amazing laser technology which has helped patients suffering from periodontitis in all its stages. Have him send you a copy of his free CD which goes over the whole laser treatment method in detail.
