Baton Rouge Dentist Clears Away Periodontal Disease

    BATON ROUGE, LA, November 06, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- People might think that periodontal disease isn't something that afflicts many Americans, but that is not true. In 2012, it was stated that 47.2 percent of Americans are diagnosed with periodontal disease, which is close to 64.7 million adults 30 years and older with periodontal issues, according to the data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Dr. William Grand, Baton Rouge cosmetic dentist, doesn't want patients to turn into another statistic, which is why his dental office offers LANAP therapy-breakthrough technology in periodontal treatment.

"More cases of periodontal disease are popping up every year, and no dentist wants his or her patients to have serious gum and tooth issues, like periodontal disease. LANAP therapy is a great alternative to gum surgery, and our office is happy to provide this kind of treatment to our patients," said Dr. Grand, Baton Rouge dentist.

So, what does periodontal disease exactly do? Periodontal disease is a bacterial infection, so the bacteria can spread to the gums, bone and periodontal ligament (fibers that support the teeth). People's mouths are like a well-oiled machine, so if one thing breaks, it causes problems for the rest of the parts. When an infection destroys the gums and periodontal ligament, the jaw and tooth structure weakens, so many people experience tooth loss-it's an unfortunate issue that causes many people to feel self-conscious and out of sorts.

The LANAP procedure is an alternative treatment that gets rid of the surgery and sutures. This patient-friendly device uses a tiny laser fiber to go between the teeth and gums. Once inside the space, the fibers work to clear away the infection.

"LANAP treatment is quick and efficient. Dental treatments our ever-changing, and we realized that a LANAP device helped comfort patients and get them out of the dentist chair in a timely manner," Dr. Grand continues, "With local anesthetic, we numb the area and begin treatment. It's a highly successful treatment with little discomfort, which is why our practice loves it."

At Grand Family Dentistry, Dr. Grand's main commitment is preventing tooth decay and gum disease. He acts as patients first defense for oral health, but patients can't only rely on their dentist. In most cases, periodontal disease occurs because of bad oral hygiene. It's the patients' responsibility to maintain a strict oral hygiene regiment and remember and schedule regular cleanings and exams.
