Besides causing you embarrassment, chronic bad breath may be a sign of gum disease, or periodontal disease. For adults in the US, gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss. However, our South Williamsport dentists at the LANAP and Implant Center can bring your gums back to health using our integrated approach to nonsurgical gum disease treatment. Dr. DiGiallorenzo’s and Dr. Hsu’s skilled treatment can:

  • Eliminate infection from your gums and prevent damage to your other teeth
  • Save your teeth and help you avoid tooth extraction
  • Stop bone loss and gum recession so you can maintain an attractive smile
  • Help you maintain lasting gum health and total body health

Hi, I'm Dr. DiGiallorenzo of the LANAP and Implant Center. Today I wanted to discuss a little bit about our long-term findings on the LANAP procedure. Typically, patients come in and they ask, “How can I avoid surgery?” And one of the things, after being in practice 25 years and being a third-generation dentist, commonly we would find patients had high fear of surgery, were very concerned about the time that it took, and had really very awful experiences in the past. A lot of scraping, a lot of pain associated with the periodontal procedures that were necessary. So really, one, I wanted to talk to the benefits of the LANAP procedure. Clearly, if we look just the difference in the procedure, we can see here that this is a scalpel and this would be something that was traditionally used in surgery, particularly in the periodontal aspect of how we're going to treat the disease process.

It essentially required cutting and suturing. Very painful. Multiple procedures. With the advent of LANAP, which we've been utilizing this procedure for over 10 years, we see a much more kinder, a much gentler approach. This is the fiber tip, this is the handpiece, and this energy, as we call it, is introduced between the tooth and gum to facilitate regeneration. So there's no cutting, there's no suturing. We can facilitate the process over and over, so you can have LANAP completed over and over. The delivery of the therapeutic energy that's delivered is only beneficial to the human body, the cellular activity, and will create consistent improvements in the periodontal parameters.

So we've had just extremely good success with LANAP. We can do the procedure in one visit, so you don't have to tie up a lot of time. It's an interactive procedure. It's not cutting, so the body will actually regenerate the bone and the soft tissue. And it's just been a very important change philosophically in how we're going to remediate chronic inflammation in the body. So, the good news is that we just don't have to cut anymore, and that makes a big difference in outcome for our patients.

LANAP – Our Flagship Treatment For Restoring Gum Health

Using an innovative method called LANAP (laser-assisted new attachment procedure), we will detoxify your mouth to remove the infection in your gums. This is the only FDA-approved laser treatment for gum infection designed to remove harmful toxins – toxins that can destroy bone and gum tissue. Dental laser treatment actually encourages the growth of new tissue.

Compared to traditional gum disease treatment, LANAP is:

  • Painless – We won’t do any cutting, so you won’t need any stitches. Both your treatment and your recovery will be comfortable.
  • Convenient – Your procedure can be completed in just one appointment because the laser removes damaged tissue quicker than a scalpel does.
  • Fast – Without stitches, your recovery period will be shorter.

In addition to laser gum disease therapy with LANAP, other treatment options may include:

  • Antibacterial therapy with germ-killing medication applied directly to the infected areas
  • Enzyme suppression using a medication that prevents your body from breaking down bone and gum tissue
  • Nutritional therapy to show you how your food choices affect your oral and overall health

Protect Your Health by Knowing the Symptoms of Gum Disease

Bleeding gums when you brush or floss is one of the most common signs of gum disease. Gum disease has been linked to serious health conditions such as heart disease, strokes, respiratory infections, diabetes, and even certain cancers. Contact us if you notice bleeding or any of these other symptoms:

  • Red or swollen gums, or gums that are sore to the touch
  • Noticeable pockets between your teeth and gums
  • Loose or shifting teeth
  • Chronic bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth
  • Changes in your bite or discomfort when putting your teeth together

Nonsurgical gum disease treatment can make your gums healthy and give you a brighter smile. Call us today at 570-322-4741 to schedule an appointment for care.
