Periodontics

Dr. Amy Norman offers periodontal treatments as part of her general dental care. Periodontal treatment is the treatment of the gums to avoid or treat disease. Gum disease is a common problem in both children and adults and can be easily avoided with proper home cleaning and routine dental check-ups. However, there are many cases when this is not done properly and the result can be serious.

There is a proven correlation between gum disease and heart problems. And, there are obvious threats to your teeth and mouth when periodontal care is not performed. A laser can be used to effectively treat early and moderate periodontal or gum diseases. With laser treatments, Dr. Norman can selectively remove diseased tissues while leaving healthy tissue untouched. The laser also can sterilize the gum pockets and remove scaling in order to promote healing.
