How it works
The laser uses light energy to remove diseased tissue and it kills the bacteria that cause gum disease inside the pocket. The laser has a tiny fiber that is about as thick as three strands of hair. This tiny fiber slips between the gum and the root of the tooth and removes only the diseased tissue, leaving healthy tissue and bone.
