Common Questions

Question 1

My dentist has a laser and says they can do the same thing, why would I need to come to your office?

Answer-

Unfortunately, many dentists have been told by laser sales people that other lasers can do the same thing as the Periolase.  Only a dentist who has received specific LANAP training can perform LANAP.  If someone tells you they can do the same thing, ask when and where they received their training in LANAP.  If they say they use another technique, you need to find out what the research says about the specific protocol they use. (most will say, "What research?")

More-

For those that like to hear a more technical description of what the LANAP procedure is used for, here it is.

 "cementum-mediated new periodontal ligament attachment to the root surface in the absence of long junctional epithelium"

That may not mean much to anyone but a dentist, but basically, it means it helps your body do what it currently can't, but would love to do.

Question 2

What will this treatment do for me?

Answer

First it gives you the chance to treat the your gum disease much earlier than most dentists would subject their patients to the traditional surgery.  Many dentists will typically wait until their patient has a SEVERE case of periodontitis before they suggest surgery.

 Second, it helps relieve the inflammation that often times you don't even realize is present.  Inflammation is associated with numerous health conditions that some many suffer from.  These include  Heart Disease and Stroke, peripheral arterial disease, Diabetes, Pancreatic Cancer, Low Birth Weight Babies and many others
