Oral Hygiene – Why We Think We Have The Best in Town
ACLD offers periodontics in Seattle and that includes gum treatments with our highly trained laser hygienist.
Cris Duval, Registered Dental Hygienist, is our secret weapon against the bad bacteria that try to make a home in your mouth. She is the head of our Hygiene Department.
Cris has so many tools to work with, you’ll be amazed. We doubt if you’ve ever had a hygiene appointment that is as thorough and informative as you get from Cris. She has a firm grasp on how to handle the laser in your treatment and periodontics in Seattle.
Before lasers, we treated periodontal (gum) disease by treating the affected tooth. We did above and below the gum line scaling and root planing. It was somewhat effective, but the real problem was still doing damage, still ruining teeth and gums.
We now know that the major cause of gum disease is the ‘BIOFILM’ that forms under the gum, next to the tooth. The laser seeks out and vaporizes the infected gums. The gum tissue grows back, once the infected material is removed. There is virtually no discomfort for you – the patient.
Gone are the days of scraping and pulling at resistant plaque and tartar. The laser is very patient-friendly and the job it does often eliminates the need for gum surgery. One or two visits are all that are needed. At Advanced Cosmetic & Laser Dentistry, the patient comfort comes first. Our laser-qualified hygienist is here for your comfort.
If your gums bleed, your breath is fetid, or you need a really good, deep state-of-the-art teeth cleaning, Advanced Cosmetic & Laser Dentistry is your first choice for periodontics in Seattle.
Give us a call today and we’ll give you the cleanest gums you’ve ever had.
