If your gums bleed when you brush, look red or puffy, or your breath is not as fresh as it should be, your gums may need some attention. The good news for Port Moody patients is that treating gum issues no longer has to mean a long, uncomfortable procedure. At White Pine Dental, we offer laser dentistry, a gentle and precise way to support healthier gums.
What Is Laser Gum Treatment?
Laser gum treatment uses a focused beam of light to target and reduce the harmful bacteria below the gumline that cause gum disease. Because it is so precise, it treats the problem areas while leaving healthy tissue alone. This often means less discomfort, less bleeding, and faster healing than traditional methods.
Signs You Might Benefit From Laser Gum Treatment
You may benefit from laser gum treatment if you have gums that bleed when brushing or flossing, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath, gums pulling away from the teeth, or a history of gum disease that you want to keep in check.
What to Expect During Treatment
Most patients are surprised by how easy the process feels. For this type of care, treatment usually involves a gentle warmth, with no needles or incisions. In many cases, it can be done right within your regular hygiene visit.
Does Insurance or CDCP Cover Gum Treatment?
Many extended dental plans and CDCP plans help cover periodontal care. At White Pine Dental, we can verify your coverage for you before treatment so you know what to expect.
