  Periodontal disease, commonly called gum disease or gingivitis, is a common infection of the tissues that surround and support the teeth. Usually caused by a buildup of plaque, gum disease can be prevented by a regular and effective dental hygiene regimen. Nevertheless, this disease still affects nearly 3 out of every 4 adults. Conventional treatments for periodontal disease have involved invasive surgical procedures, lots of anesthesia, and a lengthy healing time. Dr. Ambis and his team are proud to offer soft-tissue laser treatment, a hi-tech process that uses a beam of high-powered light as a scalpel. This non-invasive method removes the diseased tissue and vaporizes bacteria – with very little bleeding and almost no pain at all. Laser treatment is quick, virtually painless, and presents a greatly reduced risk of infection, allowing even high-risk patients to reap the benefits of a healthy mouth.
