Suffering from Gum Disease? Bay Area has the Treatment
Are you are looking for a treatment for gum disease? Bay Area Periodontist, Dr. Barney Lim, is a specialist in his field. Gum disease is a complete nightmare, there is no other way to say it. It is just one of those medical disorders you hope to never get. The effects of gum disease are apparent (especially when teeth start to fall out) and painful. The causes range from poor dental hygiene to genetic predisposition. The tragedy is that gum disease is the second most prevalent medical condition in the world and has been linked to more serious chronic conditions than loss of teeth, such as cancer, stroke, diabetes and preeclampsia in pregnant women.
Fortunately the field of oral surgery is one of the more recent areas to benefit from medical laser technology. Now periodontists are able to take advantage of a more precise and less invasive form of gum surgery that has literally transformed the slash and hack brutality into a shorter, more effective and nearly painless procedure. Treating gum disease is now more effective and efficient due to these innovations.
A leading expert in this field, Periodontist and Professor, Dr. Barney Lim was the first to be trained and certified as a LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) practitioner in the San Francisco Bay Area. His academic credentials, having graduated from UCLA's School of Dentistry's doctorial program at the top of his class as well as periodontal training at the University of Washington, represent two of the highest ranked dentistry programs in the country. Over his 28 years of dental practice he was one of the pioneers in oral laser surgery, and is now considered one of the most experienced periodonists in this now mature field.
Given the danger of untreated gum disease it is shocking that it is among the more commonly untreated conditions in the United States. Hopefully this will change with the spread of this new technology.
