One of the most recent treatment modalities to be introduced to periodontal therapy is the Laser.

Dr. Waldman carefully evaluates every patient for the presence of Periodontal (Gum) Disease prior to treatment. Should any patient be diagnosed with periodontal disease, Dr. Waldman will recommend treatment prior to the initiation of any restorative or cosmetic procedures. The reason for this is simple. It is always best to build on a strong foundation! Since our gums and bone provide the foundation for our teeth, attempting to build a new smile on unhealthy gums is like to trying to build the CN Tower on a swamp!

In addition, with the increase in number of systemic diseases now associated with the presence of periodontal disease, it has been our goal to manage and treat the Periodontal infection with the latest and most effective treatments offered today. With this in mind, Dr. Waldman is thrilled to announce the addition of the Navigator Diode Laser to her practice. This laser, used in the treatment of periodontal disease can often replace some types of uncomfortable gum surgery. This makes for more comfortable treatment and faster healing sterilizing the infected areas of one’s gums while removing the biofilm that contributes to gingivitis.
