With a lot of hype over dental lasers, it seems that several patients are going for the laser instead of the knife.
Dr. David Wong, from Tulsa, posted this photo showing what can happen when laser surgery backfires.
Gingival recession and root exposure following laser dental surgery
Says Dr. Wong, “This patient underwent a laser frenectomy procedure to remove the muscle between the 2 lower front teeth. Not only was the procedure unsuccessful, this patient was left with severe gum recession and pain. After nearly a year, this patient’s condition has not improved to her satisfaction. Before doing ANY type of laser periodontal surgery, patients should get the facts.”
