This might be an indication of dreaded PERIODONTAL DISEASE!
If left untreated, it can lead to LOSS OF PERFECTLY HEALTHY TEETH because of the breakdown of bone around them!
LASER PERIODONTAL TREATMENT / BONE REGENERATION is probably one of the most revolutionary breakthroughs in dentistry in the world and is NOW AVAILABLE at our practice!
Dr Clara Erasmus has completed her MASTERHIP IN LASERS cum laude through the University of Aachen in Germany
The WATERLASE Er,Cr:YSGG 2780nm and EPIC X Diode 940nm lasers are now used with great success by DR CLARA ERASMUS, the LASER DENTIST, here at Dorp Street Dental, Stellenbosch, to STIMULATE BONE REGENERATION, or at least stop further bone loss.
It is done with laser/light therapy instead of traditional painful open flap surgical procedures.
Constant inflammation will cause the bone to dissolve to such an extent that the teeth will appear long and become loose because of the loss of bony support.
The roots of natural teeth consist of fluid-filled dentinal tubules (usually covered and protected by bone). They are not protected by a shell of hard enamel and are therefore extremely vulnerable to abrasion when brushed. Severe sensitivity can follow and/or abscesses can develop as the lesions rapidly deepen and reach the pulps of the teeth.
Microbiological studies can be done to show the exact combination of bacteria responsible for the disease and antibiotic combinations are given to stop the infection.
Research shows that these bacteria that cause periodontal disease are now associated with strokes, heart disease, renal failure, cancer, and even diabetes. You do not want to harbor these in your mouth!
Lasers are used with every visit over a period of six months to do bacterial reduction, to not only heal but get actual miraculous BONE REGENERATION.
DNA tests can also be done to see if you are prone to inflammation and/or infection. The results aid in deciding on the best maintenance plan of preventative measures to assist you to keep your teeth, as long as possible.
Important to note is that 1- 4mm (even more) of bone regeneration can be established, but that the success of this therapy lies in your hands to keep your oral hygiene meticulous. We are committed to guiding, motivating, and evaluating you constantly and supplying you with the correct products to achieve success!
