• What causes snoring?
  Snoring occurs when air is not able to move freely through your nose and mouth during sleep. This is due to narrowing of your airway, which causes the tissues to vibrate and make an audible sound. Many factors can contribute to snoring such as age, nasal and sinus problems, being overweight, alcohol, smoking, medications, sleep posture, and more.
• What is the impact of snoring?
  Snoring has a number of consequences that can impact the life of a snorer and his/her sleep partner. Sleep deprivation as a result of snoring has a negative impact on health and quality of life. Snorers can experience tiredness, morning headaches, irritability, dry mouth, and relationship difficulties. Studies have also shown a link between snoring and a increased risk serious health conditions.

• About periodontal disease
  Do you have red, swollen or sensitive gums? Do you have constant bad breath? Have you noticed that your gums are slightly moving away from the teeth? Do your gums often bleed when brushing? If the answer of any of these questions is yes, you may have periodontal disease.
  Periodontal disease is the most common form of gum disease. It is caused by bacteria that reside in the oral cavity and, because the bacteria reproduce, plaque or tartar begins to form. If tartar is not cleaned regularly by your dentist, you could develop gingivitis and notice that you have swollen gums that bleed when you brush. Soon, this inflammation may extend to the bone under the gums, resulting in periodontal disease. If left untreated, it can cause tooth loss.
  Periodontal disease affects more than 75% of the population. Even more alarming is the fact that the vast majority of people are unaware they are showing the first signs of periodontal disease and visit their dentist only when the disease is already advanced. Periodontal disease is serious because it can be linked to health problems such as: cardiac and respiratory disease, low birth weight in newborn babies, heart attack, stroke, and osteoporosis.
• Laser periodontal treatment
  Conventional methods for treating periodontal disease involve cutting with a blade, scaling/root planing, and suturing; all of which may result in longer healing time and pain after the surgery.
  When an advanced laser method is chosen, a combination of two effective and innovative laser wavelengths (Nd:YAG and Er:YAG with very specific clinical and therapeutic abilities) is used for a more effective, minimally-invasive treatment. The two wavelengths, along with the refined capabilities of the Fotona LightWalker laser system, are used in tandem to achieve new levels of success in the battle against periodontal disease.
  After the laser procedure, there is a quicker recovery time, no bleeding after the surgery, less post-surgery pain, and a reduced chance of the gum disease returning.
• How does it work?
  1. The pocket depth is measured.
  2. The laser precisely targets the disease in the tooth pocket.
  3. Laser light selectively removes the diseased tissue and targets the tartar build up on the root surface for easier removal, while leaving the healthy tissue intact.
  4. Stubborn plaque and tartar can then be gently and effectively removed with the laser.
  5. The laser gently coagulates the tissue, which can enhance and promote the reconnection to the root for healing and tooth stabilization. 
• Advantages of laser treatment of periodontal disease
  - Less invasive than conventional treatments.
  - Minimal or no-pain after procedure.
  - Extremely effective (gum-tooth reattachment, growth of new tissue).
  - Quick recovery time.
  - Less chance of gum disease returning.
