Dentist In Cincinnati Announces New Procedure For Improved Patient Dental Care

    CINCINNATI, OH, May 13, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dr. Tracy Hodge, dentist in Cincinnati, is happy to offer the state-of-the-art PerioLase soft-tissue laser for treatment of gum disease without cutting, stitching, and without pain. Dr. Hodge is one of only less than 200 dentists in the U.S. certified to use this technology.

"Over 100 million Americans suffer from periodontal disease, which is the major cause of tooth loss in adults. With the PerioLase soft-tissue laser, I can now successfully treat my patients with gum disease without cutting, sewing and without causing them fear. This innovative treatment is not available through all dentists, which makes it more important than ever to take advantage of this successful treatment at Pleasant Run Dental," said Dr. Tracy Hodge, Cincinnati dentist.

Periodontal disease begins as plaque, which is a clear film that eventually hardens, forming tartar or calculus. The calculus deposits harbor bacteria, which infect the gums. In this early stage, this is called Gingivitis, which is easily treated with proper treatment from Dr. Tracy Hodge, dentist in Cincinnati, OH. If gingivitis goes unchecked, it can progress into periodontitis, which is a more serious form of periodontal disease where periodontal pockets are formed, separating teeth from the gums and supporting bone structure. Without treatment, infection becomes severe and the pockets deepen, resulting in tooth loss.

In order to repair the damage caused by periodontitis, it is important to remove the infection and close the pockets. Until now, surgery was often required to accomplish this treatment. Today, however, Dr. Hodge, Cincinnati, OH dentist, can treat advanced periodontitis with the PerioLase, a patient friendly, minimally invasive procedure that is a great improvement over standard gum surgery.
