Gum Disease Therapy

Gum disease is the most common of all disease in the entire United States. So don’t feel bad if you have gum disease. Instead, be proactive by contacting our dental practice at (808) 674-9299 to schedule an appointment for gum disease therapy. Our non-surgical gum disease therapy relies on scaling to remove the plaque that has hardened below the gum line. Root planing is then used to decrease the roughness of areas by tooth roots. Antibiotic therapy is also used to combat potential infections. Laser treatment helps remove that nasty bacteria and facilitate the reattachment of the gums.

The use of laser treatment for gum disease is centered on a diode laser that removes or decreases periodontal infection. This approach also helps reconnect the tissue of the gums to the teeth. However, this is only one component of gum disease therapy. We will tailor our treatment to the specifics of your gum disease’s progression to minimize the damage and pain. If your gum disease case is especially advanced, the dentist will consider surgery.
