Introducing LANAP: The Effective, Patient Friendly Treatment for Gum Disease

It has been estimated that as much as 85 percent of the adult population suffers from gum disease. Of those cases, almost half suffer with moderate to severe conditions of gum disease (periodontal disease).

Common symptoms for gum disease include chronic bad breath, loose teeth, puffy bleeding gums, and tissue separation around the teeth. If you display one or more of these gum disease symptoms it's important you have it treated without delay.

Here's why: gum disease left untreated will only get worse resulting in tooth loss and painful inflamed gums. Even more seriously, recent medical studies have suggested a link between gum disease and serious life threatening health conditions such as heart disease and stroke.

There is good news on the fight against gum disease. Dr. Tarpley utilizes the latest laser technology LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) to gently zap gum disease. LANAP or laser periodontal surgery, unlike tradition oral surgery, is non-invasive. That means no surgical cutting and no surgical stitches. With LANAP, patients report less discomfort and a much shorter recovery time.

With the FDA approved LANAP procedure, treating your gum disease has just gotten a whole lot easier!
