Have you heard about Laser bacterial reduction, also known as LBR, is a common procedure that is done during routine cleanings. A non-cutting laser is aimed directly into the gingival pockets that form around the teeth. The laser kills any bacteria in this area, preventing the spread and progression of gum disease.
Laser bacterial reduction is done with dental soft tissue lasers,It attacks and destroys bacteria that causes inflammation and periodontal pocket from billions to hundreds in just seconds. While nothing will replace manual removal of plaque and tartar(calculus), Laser Bacteria Reduction therapy assists in decontaminating the gum pocket and eliminates bacterial colonies too small to be removed by traditional cleaning instruments alone. Lasers use light energy to attack bacteria at the microscopic level and by circling the teeth with a laser light, we can drastically reduce the number of harmful bacteria that compromise our oral and overall health. The laser is also effective in reducing and inhibiting the recolonization of the bacteria thus creating a healthy environment for healing of the gums and preventing inflammation. This technology paired with manual removal of plaque and tartar from the teeth is the best way to ensure your radiant smile stays healthy.
