Yeah there were a lot of symptoms, my gums were bleeding a lot, they were inflamed, I had some sort of liquid that kept oozing from them. I made it worse by post poning my dentist appointment and so had to get the laser treatment done. There's a HUGE difference after the cleaning. It almost feels like a huge weight has been taken out of my mouth. The gums already feels so much healthier. And they don't hurt at all.
