Gum Disease Treatment
If you visit our Albuquerque dentist for a gum disease treatment in Albuquerque, NM, the first thing we’ll do is ensure your comfort by numbing the inside of your mouth. Then, we will use a state-of-the-art NV Pro 3 dental laser to remove small amounts of your infected gums. Your treatment will be more comfortable and heal faster thanks to this cutting-edge dental technology!
Depending on your situation, we may also need to use special methods called scaling and root planing to clean tooth decay from between your gums and tooth roots.
To improve your experience, we can also provide a variety of comfort options, including:
- Soft pillows
- Cozy blankets
- Headphones
And, if you happen to be nervous, we can also help relieve your dental anxiety with dental sedation options.
