Laser GumTreatment

At Carrollwood Village Dental, we provide advanced periodontal treatment for patients in Tampa and the surrounding areas. Healthy gums are essential for maintaining a strong, confident smile. Our team uses the latest technology, including CO₂ laser dentistry in Tampa, to treat gum disease safely, effectively, and comfortably.

What Is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease, also known as "gum disease," occurs when bacteria in plaque and tartar irritate and infect the gums. In the early stages, known as "gingivitis," symptoms may include redness, swelling, and bleeding. More advanced periodontitis can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss.

Common signs of periodontal issues include:

Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth
Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
Gum recession or sensitive teeth
Loose or shifting teeth

Regular checkups and professional care are key to preventing these complications.

Benefits of Periodontal Treatment

There are numerous benefits to receiving routine periodontal care, including the prevention of gum disease and the management of periodontitis.

Protects Your Natural Teeth

Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults. Proper periodontal care helps control oral infections, strengthens gum attachment, and reduces the risk of teeth becoming loose or falling out. Treatment keeps your smile healthy!

Supports Overall Health

Research has shown a link between gum disease and systemic health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. By addressing periodontal problems early, you can reduce inflammation in the body and support your overall wellness.

Improves Comfort and Function

Swollen, bleeding gums and sensitivity can make eating and speaking uncomfortable. Periodontal treatment helps reduce these symptoms, making daily activities like chewing and brushing more comfortable and effective.

Laser Gum Therapy Technology

Laser Dentistry

At Carrollwood Village Dental, we use CO₂ laser technology to provide precise and effective periodontal care. This advanced dental laser allows us to target gum tissue with minimal discomfort. It also promotes faster healing and reduces the need for more invasive procedures.

How CO₂ Laser Dentistry Helps with Periodontal Care

Reduces gum inflammation and infection — The laser can remove diseased tissue while preserving healthy gums.
No needles — CO₂laser gum treatment can be provided with only topical numbing.
No gum cutting and no sutures — The CO₂laser is "non contact". This means your gums are treated with light energy, not a scalpel.
Minimally invasive treatment — There's much less bleeding and swelling compared to traditional gum surgery.
Faster healing and recovery — Patients often experience quicker comfort and return to normal oral function than with traditional gum surgery.
Enhanced precision — It allows dentists to carefully sculpt and treat gum tissue with accuracy.
Improved outcomes for gum disease — It helps manage periodontal pockets and supports long-term gum health.

Using CO₂ laser technology, we can treat gum disease, gingival overgrowth, and other periodontal issues effectively while making the experience more comfortable for our patients.
