Periowave
Gum Disease (Periodontitis) is a common condition that affects more than 50% of people over the age of 30. It often results in bleeding and swollen gums, persistent bad breath and the deterioration of the underlying structure that supports your teeth. Gum Disease is also the number one cause of tooth loss in adults.
Recent research has linked gum disease to a host of other serious health conditions including heart disease, stroke, cancer, premature births and diabetes. Early detection of periodontitis is critical as oral health plays an important role in total body health.
Fortunately, new technology called Periowave™ now exists that gives your dentist and dental hygienist a new tool in the fight against gum disease. We are pleased to now be able to offer you Periowave™ at Heritage Oak Dental Clinic.
Periowave™ is a quick and painless technology that works to kill the bacteria associated with periodontal diseases, without the promotion of antibiotic resistance. Periowave™ is a chairside treatment that takes about one minute per periodontal pocket and offers virtually no discomfort to the patient.
Periowave™ combines advanced non-thermal diode laser technology with wavelength-matched photosensitizers to target the pathogens and toxins associated with gum disease. Simply put, Periowave™ kills the bad bacteria and leaves the good ones behind.
