Not many people go to the orthodontist\u2019s office because they want to. It can be uncomfortable, inconvenient, costly\u2026the list goes on. Nevertheless, time waits for no one. Sooner or later we all have to face the music if we want our teeth to be healthy; and sooner is always preferable to later. It\u2019s no secret that if you stay on top of your oral hygiene, trips to the dentist can be less frequent and more pleasant. Here\u2019s three of the most common excuses we use to talk ourselves out of it (and why you need to get your mind out of that gutter!)<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>1. &#8220;The cost of gum surgery is too high.&#8221;<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lightfootperio.com\/blog\/delaying-gum-disease-treatment-3-reasons-shouldnt\/\" class=\"block-image-link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"162\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lightfootperio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/gum-disease-treatment-v1.jpg\" alt=\"Gum Disease Treatment\" class=\"wp-image-805\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Periodontal treatments can actually cut costs!<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ve probably heard the saying pay a little now, or pay a lot later, right? Well oral hygiene and visits to the dentist are no exception to this rule. Your mouth can be a good indicator of your overall health. How is that possible? Believe it or not, other complications separate from oral health can arise from the clutches of gum disease and periodontitis, and they can be quite serious. Diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, respiratory disease and cancer, to name a few. These conditions are also much more life-threatening and severe than simple gum disease. It goes without saying that, while your periodontal treatments may cost you a little now, when coupled with the cost of treatments for any one of these diseases, it will end up costing you a lot more later, too.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The average cost per quadrant for LANAP\u00ae&nbsp;is about $1500. Traditional periodontal surgery can actually end up costing more in the long (and even short) run. Many providers offer payment plans or participate with financing providers, such as CareCredit. And many insurance companies will actually cover the LANAP\u00ae&nbsp;procedure if coded properly by the provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find out answers to common questions about LANAP\u00ae, such as cost, expected long-term results, details about the procedure, treatment plans and much more!

While it is true gum disease can often be so mild many learn to live with it, this line of thinking is unsanitary and very risky. As we mentioned earlier, gum disease and periodontitis can lead to other diseases that can be very serious. If that wasn\u2019t reason enough for urgency, there\u2019s more. Gingivitis comes with symptoms such as: red, swollen and bleeding gums, persistent bad breath and bad taste in mouth, gum recession, loose teeth, and alteration of your bite. If left unchecked it can develop into the more serious periodontitis, which comes with all the symptoms of gingivitis, but much more advanced. At this stage, gum and bone tissue can also begin to deteriorate via necrosis. Teeth may even fall out as a result. Once this begins to happen, you are most likely going to need surgery to repair the damage done from neglecting to treat your gum disease sooner.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>3. &#8220;Surgery hurts too much.&#8221;<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Periodontal care has come a long way over the years! You may be surprised to find out that periodontal care can performed using LANAP\u00ae&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">laser treatments. It is a much less painful type of treatment for periodontal disease and significantly more successful than conventional surgery. Laser treatments are capable of getting at the source of the inflammation in your gums without destroying any of the healthy tissue surrounding the affected area. If that wasn\u2019t enough, you can look forward to a scalpel and suture free operation, sending you home virtually pain free. There\u2019s never been a better time to see your periodontist!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t keep making excuses. Don\u2019t wait. You can have healthy teeth &amp; gums and a healthier life sooner and more pain-free than you think. LANAP\u00ae has even been more affordable than traditional periodontal surgery in some cases.
