The issues in the oral cavity, as we know, are not limited only to those concerning the teeth. Gums, the alveolar bone supporting the tooth, and its ligament can also experience more or less severe problems. Periodontology deals precisely with everything surrounding the tooth, ensuring its stability and health. Periodontal disease (gingivitis or periodontitis), which can affect both adults and children and is mainly caused by bacteria, if neglected, can degenerate into periodontal disease and lead to tooth loss. At Centro Medico Polispecialistico Porta a Terra srl, specialised doctors use laser therapy for the care of the supporting structures of the teeth. Laser therapy, in fact, eliminates the need for surgery, thus avoiding the opening of the gums to reach the deeper reticular cavities and cleansing them from the bacteria that are the pathogenic cause of periodontitis.
