Laser Bacterial Reduction is a simple procedure we can use to decontaminate the bacterial level within your mouth. Elevated levels of bacteria can result in tooth decay, periodontal disease, and oral infections. Recent studies have linked gum disease bacteria to other health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, and dementia.
How Laser Bacterial Reduction Works
LBR uses a precise hand-held laser aimed at the spaces between your gums and teeth (gum pockets) where bacteria collects. The laser kills harmful bacteria that could enter your bloodstream.
Benefits of LBR
- Improving your oral health
- Reduced bleeding during routine cleanings
- Less tooth and gum sensitivity
- Increased resistance to bacterial infections and periodontal disease
- Lower risk of other bodily infections and health issues
Laser Bacterial Reduction is a quick and painless procedure that takes only about five minutes. Benefits can last up to six months. Ask about LBR at your next appointment at our Windsor or Kingsville office.
