What Does Gum Disease Pain Feel Like?
People with gum disease often say their gums feel tender and sensitive to the touch. Some describe a dull, constant ache that gets worse when they brush their teeth or eat certain foods. Others notice sharp pain when biting down or a burning sensation along their gum line that won't go away.
The discomfort isn't always obvious at first. You might feel pressure or soreness that seems minor but gradually becomes harder to ignore. Many patients also experience pain when their gums bleed during routine brushing or flossing.
How It Gets Worse Over Time
The infection causes your gums to pull away from your teeth, creating pockets where bacteria gather and multiply. This leads to deeper inflammation and more severe discomfort that can radiate throughout your jaw.
Without treatment, the supporting bone around your teeth begins to break down. You may start feeling pain when chewing as your teeth become loose or shift position. The constant inflammation can even cause headaches and make your entire mouth feel sore and swollen.
How LANAP Treatment Addresses the Pain
This innovative laser procedure zeroes in on infected areas while protecting your healthy gum tissue. There's no need for scalpels or sutures, which means you'll experience far less discomfort than with traditional methods.
LANAP treatment destroys the harmful bacteria causing your pain, giving your gums a clean slate for recovery.
Within just a few days, many people feel dramatic improvement as swelling goes down, and the healing process takes over. The gentle nature of this procedure means you'll bounce back much quicker than you would from conventional gum surgery.
Most patients get back to their daily activities right away while their mouth continues to heal behind the scenes. By eliminating the infection at its core, LANAP treatment stops the cycle of worsening pain and safeguards your smile for years to come.
