Is laser treatment for gums worth it?
The American Dental Association has not yet approved the use of lasers for treating gum disease, but there's a small body of evidence indicating that laser gum surgery is safe and effective for treating many dental conditions, including gum disease. How effective is laser treatment for gum disease? Laser periodontal treatment remains about 85 percent successful for most patients. Periodontal laser therapy uses a dental laser to remove inflamed gum tissue from the area around the tooth.
