Ever been afraid to go the dentist or periodontist because of a fear of pain? Well, you’re not alone of course!
When our patients come to our office knowing that they’re scheduled for Laser Gum Therapy (or LANAP treatment), many come with worries that the procedure will be painful.
However, one of the most comforting things they’ll realize is that with new treatment options, fighting gum disease is a lot easier on the patient. A laser is used to cut away and remove infected gum tissue instead of surgical instruments.
With a local anesthetic being used, most patients find the procedure a lot easier than they’d worried about. Most people say they didn’t experience the pain and discomfort they feared.
