What Is a Sulca Brush? Benefits, Uses, and Why Dentists Recommend It

A Sulca Brush is a small, single tufted toothbrush that is used to clean teeth and gums near the gumline, remove plaque, prevents gingivitis, and cleans around dental work, implants, crowns, bridges. Use the sulca brush in a gentle back and forth motion at the level where your tooth and gums meet. Use the sucla brush in addition to your toothbrush and floss.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gum Disease and LANAP

What are the early signs of gum disease?
Bleeding while brushing, swollen gums, bad breath, gum recession, and tenderness are common early warning signs.

Can gum disease be reversed?
Early-stage gingivitis can often be reversed with professional treatment and better home care. More advanced periodontal disease can still be managed and stabilized with the right care plan.

What makes LANAP different from traditional gum surgery?
LANAP uses a dental laser to target diseased tissue with less discomfort, less bleeding, and a faster recovery for many patients.
