Q: Is good oral hygiene the best way to treat gum disease?
A: Oral hygiene is critically important to prevent gum disease. However, sometimes you need professional help to help regenerate bone that has been lost and to get the periodontal tissues in better condition. The use of the LANAP protocol is a possible option in addition to more traditional forms of treatment, if needed. I would suggest that an experienced laser-trained Periodontist evaluate you.
