Bacteria are the cause of many ailments and diseases.
Do you suffer from bad breath, bleeding gums, receding gums, or loose teeth? Perhaps you have already lost one or more teeth or dental implants?
These symptoms may indicate an imbalance in your oral cavity.
Your oral cavity is home to over 700 species of bacteria and numerous fungi—a complex ecosystem that plays an important role in digestion. Normally, the balance between the various microorganisms ensures that your oral health remains intact. However, this delicate balance can be disrupted – whether by health factors, the condition of your teeth, or after dental treatment.
If pathogenic bacteria take over, acute or chronic inflammation can develop, which not only affects your oral health but can also put strain on your entire body. Scientific studies show that chronic inflammation in the mouth can be linked to heart disease, strokes, and even premature births.
Ensure a harmonious balance in your mouth at an early stage – for your health and well-being!
Back to balance with HELBO therapy
In addition to mechanical cleaning, there are various ways to treat infections in the oral cavity. These often include antibiotics. These can cause unpleasant side effects, such as gastrointestinal discomfort. There is also a risk that resistant bacteria will develop as a result. Disinfectant rinses usually only have a superficial effect; they do not penetrate deeply enough.
A gentle and effective alternative is HELBO antimicrobial photodynamic therapy. Due to its reliable and safe application, HELBO therapy is used worldwide in dentistry to support oral health and restore microbial balance.
HELBO therapy is successfully used for
- Periodontitis (periodontal disease): For healthy gums and long-term tooth preservation.
- Inflammation around dental implants: Protects your implants.
- Root canal infections: Gentle and effective for tooth preservation.
- Surgical procedures and implantations: Proven support, especially in cases of existing bone infections.
- Wound healing disorders: Accelerates regeneration after surgical procedures.
- Oral mucosal diseases: Effective against herpes, mouth ulcers, and other mucosal problems.
Advantages of HELBO therapy
- Gentle – HELBO therapy is painless and therefore does not require anesthesia.
- Successful – Controls infections and improves wound healing.
- Fast – Treatment of a tooth or individual area takes only a few minutes.
- Effective – Unlike rinsing solutions, HELBO therapy also reaches areas that are difficult to treat.
- Tried and tested – More than 100 scientific publications prove its effectiveness.
- No side effects – No treatment with antibiotics, no side effects, and no resistance.
The procedure is painless, causes no side effects, and to date shows no signs of resistance. Using dye solution and gentle laser light, HELBO supports the preservation of natural teeth or implants and general oral health. It is a purely local therapy for destroying the microorganisms that cause inflammation and helps the body regain its physiological balance. Through the use of low-energy red laser light, it also stimulates the body’s own regeneration processes. This leads to inflammation inhibition, improved wound healing, and pain reduction.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
The therapy can be used to treat periodontitis (general periodontal disease), inflammation around dental implants, infections in the root canal, wound healing disorders, e.g. after surgical procedures, or oral mucosal diseases (herpes, mouth ulcers).
No, it makes painless treatment possible.
Only the infected area in the mouth is treated—laser therapy therefore acts purely locally and not throughout the entire body, unlike antibiotics. This significantly reduces the need to take antibiotics.
Temporary staining of rough surfaces, e.g. on
teeth, dentures and gums, which the dentist
can only remove immediately to a limited
extent, cannot be avoided. However, this
residual staining usually disappears within
two to three hours after treatment and does
not pose a problem for eating and drinking.
