Possible Side Effects of Laser Gum Surgery
Laser gum surgery comes in different forms. There is no one-size-fits-all option for everyone. In general, lasers can vary a lot, depending on the levels of power and wavelengths. Choosing the wrong option may cause damage to your gum tissue. Some potential risks may include scarring, infection, or permanent changes in tissue color. Infections are not as common as lasers can help sterilize the area. When they occur, you may notice swelling, fever, worsening pain, or oozing. Make sure to talk with your doctor as soon as you experience any of these problems to prevent further complications. [7]
