As the bacteria for periodontal disease are able to thrive in all types of niches found within the mouth, if painful traditional treatments such as extractions, scaling, root planing or systemic antibiotics are prescribed, the bacteria will simply be able to recolonize in another area of the mouth.
In this way, by undertaking methods such as root planing and extractions, you are not only subjecting yourself to unnecessary pain, but are overall undergoing less effective treatments that make it difficult to control and treat the disease, resulting in a lifelong problem.
With Duo-Lase™ we target the cause of problem continuously (the bacteria), which means their numbers will reduce, until eventually you will be left with no aggressive bacteria or such a low level that you will not relapse provided you maintain good oral hygiene.
