  1. What is Advanced Laser Pocket Disinfection ? Advanced Laser Pocket Disinfection (ALPD) is a modern dental treatment used to eliminate harmful bacteria from periodontal (gum) pockets. Gum pockets form when gum tissue pulls away from the teeth due to gum disease, creating spaces where bacteria and plaque accumulate.

  2. In Laser Pocket Disinfection, a soft-tissue laser is used to target and destroy bacteria within these pockets—without cutting or suturing. Removing diseased tissue and mechanical irritants (also known as periodontal maintenance cleaning) and treating the underlying infection are the best ways to manage periodontal disease. Benefits of Laser Pocket Disinfection include: ● Minimally invasive compared to traditional gum surgery ● Kills bacteria with precision ● Reduces bleeding, swelling, and discomfort ● Helps preserve natural teeth ● Encourages faster healing

  3. It’s often performed as part of periodontal therapy to help patients maintain healthier gums and prevent the progression of gum disease. Selecting the top dentist in Camas guarantees that you will receive individualized laser treatment using the newest methods for long-lasting dental health.

  4. How the Procedure Works 1. Evaluation – The dentist examines the gums and measures pocket depths. 2. Cleaning – A professional cleaning may be performed to remove plaque and tartar. 3. Laser Treatment – The dental laser is applied to the gum pockets, where it destroys bacteria and reduces inflammation. 4. Healing – The disinfected pockets begin to heal naturally, with gum tissue reattaching to the teeth over time. Is Laser Pocket Disinfection Right for You? Laser Pocket Disinfection is ideal for patients with early to moderate gum disease, or as a preventive measure for maintaining gum health. It can also be part of ongoing periodontal therapy to protect against reinfection.

  5. Conclusion For this reason, Camas Periodontics advises that in addition to cleaning, our patients' teeth should be decontaminated. The laser energy penetrates the infected area, killing bacteria, reducing inflammation, and promoting healing of the gums.
