Laser Bacterial Reduction (LBR) is a cutting-edge dental procedure recommended to fight gum disease, improve your oral health and reduce your risk of infection. This innovative technique employs low-level laser therapy (LLLT) to target and eliminate harmful bacteria that reside in the oral cavity, particularly in gum pockets and on the surfaces of teeth.
Dr. Reza Baharloo may recommend LBR if you have gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease. This treatment may also be recommended during your routine cleanings, as it works to prevent bacteria from infiltrating gum tissue and infecting the area around your teeth. The LBR procedure is quick, painless and noninvasive, making it an attractive option for patients concerned about their oral hygiene.
During an LBR session, our dentist or dental hygienist will use a specially designed laser device to irradiate the affected areas of the mouth. The laser emits a harmless yet powerful light that penetrates the soft tissues of the gums, effectively killing bacteria and reducing their overall population.
One of the key advantages of LBR is its ability to reduce the risk of infection and inflammation. Harmful bacteria in the mouth are not only responsible for gum disease but can also enter the bloodstream, potentially contributing to systemic health issues such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. By eliminating these bacteria, LBR helps maintain a healthy oral microbiome and reduces the likelihood of oral infections spreading to other parts of the body.
Additionally, LBR can be especially beneficial for individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes or those who have undergone various dental procedures, as it aids in the prevention of complications and promotes faster healing. It is important to note that LBR is typically performed as part of a comprehensive dental hygiene plan, which includes regular checkups, cleanings and other preventive measures.
