“Robust evidence shows the association of periodontal diseases with systemic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Periodontal disease is likely to cause 19% increase in the risk of cardiovascular disease, and this increase in relative risk reaches to 44% among individuals aged 65 years and over. Type 2 diabetic individuals with severe form of periodontal disease have 3.2 times greater mortality risk compared with individuals with no or mild periodontitis. Periodontal therapy has been shown to improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetic subjects. Periodontitis is related to maternal infection, preterm birth, low birth weight, and preeclampsia.”

Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP®) is an effective treatment that stops degenerative gum disease and also promotes gum regeneration.

Fearing dental procedures is a thing of the past because Dr. Jenkins offers LANAP treatment as an alternative to scalpel-and-suture surgery. This treatment is considerably less painful than conventional surgery.
