Periodontal (gum) disease is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place. It's typically caused by poor brushing and flossing habits that allow plaque—a sticky film of bacteria—to build up on the teeth and harden. It
starts with swollen, red, and bleeding gums.

Lasers are capable of distinguishing between healthy and diseased
tissue because the diseased tissue is generally darker. Therefore, the
laser can easily eliminate infected gums with a high level of precision. It also helps to sterilize the area, which can prevent future gum disease or
infection.
