Full-Mouth Tooth Extraction Avoided With the LANAP(R) Protocol
Media Opportunity to Observe and/or Interview
(firmenpresse) - CERRITOS, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/07/15 -- 33-year-old, John Cavello* was told by two dentists that he would due to severe periodontal (gum) disease, and would require and . Cavello and his wife looked on the internet and researched alternatives to full-mouth tooth extraction and learned about the and its success in treating severe periodontitis.
Cavello drove 100 miles from the high desert to Cerritos to meet with Robert H. Gregg, II, DDS. After x-rays and a comprehensive examination, Dr. Gregg felt there might be a chance to save some or all of Cavello's teeth. The LANAP® protocol has been referred to as "hope for hopeless teeth." Dr. Gregg performed the LANAP® protocol on one half of Cavello's mouth to kill germs and infected tissue from Cavello's gum pockets, without any cutting or removal of the tissues whatsoever. No sutures were used. Cavello will return to Dr. Gregg's practice this week to receive treatment on the second half of his mouth.
"Have you ever known anyone who's lost all their teeth at such a young age?" asked Dr. Gregg. "It's astounding to me the number of patients who lose their teeth because of clinicians who make the unfortunate premature decision for extraction in favor of dentures or implants." According to the American Dental Association, dentures take 10 years off a patient's lifetime. Dr. Gregg continues, "After two other doctors told this patient he'd lose all his teeth, I am offering hope in a desperate situation. Twenty-five years of treating advanced gum disease and so-called hopeless teeth allow me to offer tooth salvation as a possibility."
For John Cavello's second patient visit, set to take place this week, Dr. Gregg invites the media to attend the interview in person. This is an opportunity for anyone who would like to ask the patient or Dr. Gregg questions, as well as learn more about the LANAP® protocol and saving hopeless teeth.
