Allentown, PA Gum Disease Therapy: What You Need to Know

454389001Many people think that as long as their teeth are white and straight that they have a healthy smile. Unfortunately, that cannot be further from the truth. Our gums are the foundation to our smile, and if they are compromised in a negative way, the effects can be detrimental both to your smile and your body. Gum disease affects over 80 percent of Americans, and many of them are not even aware that they are suffering from this disease. Luckily, Dr. S. John Salivonchik is able to treat gum disease with gum disease therapy at his Coplay, PA dental office.

The reason why it is very important to tackle your gum disease as soon as possible is because it can affect more than just your oral health. If left to its own devices, gum disease can cause heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s, bone loss, tooth loss, respiratory complications, dementia, and much more. If you are unsure if you are living with gum disease, a few symptoms include red and swollen gums, gums that are discolored, gums that bleed when you brush or floss, and gums that are sensitive to the touch.

A couple of the ways that Dr. Salivonchik is able to take care of your gum disease is through scaling and root planing. Scaling involves removing the harmful bacteria from below the gum line, making sure that whatever is attacking the health of your gums is removed. Root planing is smoothing out the rough areas on your tooth’s root that have been infected by the bacteria. We will also reinforce healthy oral care routines, such as brushing and flossing on a regular basis, in order to ensure the health of your smile. If you would like Dr. Salivonchik to help with your gum disease with gum disease therapy, contact our office today!

If you are ready to schedule your appointment with Dr. S. John Salivonchik, contact our office today! We are able to take care of all of your general, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry needs. We look forward to being able to give you a healthier, beautiful smile at our Coplay, PA dental office. We are proud to treat patients from Whitehall, Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, The Poconos, and the surrounding communities.

Improve Your Smile and Oral Health with Invisalign

clear bracesIn our last post, we talked about how important it is to have straight teeth: Not only does having straight teeth improve your confidence, it also leads to improved oral health.

To help patients from Coplay and beyond achieve a straighter smile as discreetly as possible, Dr. Salivonchik offers care with the Invisalign cosmetic braces system.

What Makes Invisalign Different?

Traditional braces move teeth using metal brackets and wires. But Invisalign doesn’t do this. Instead, this revolutionary orthodontic system uses a series of clear, custom-made trays.

Before you begin treatment, Dr. Salivonchik will work closely with you to design every one of the trays that will end up in your treatment kit. Each tray will help guide your teeth into their ideal position over a period of months, until you finally have the straight, beautiful smile you’ve wanted.

As you go through treatment, you’ll wear each aligner in your treatment kit for about two weeks. Because there’s nothing to tighten, you can look forward to fewer office visits. You can also enjoy other benefits, like an unrestricted diet and the ability to remove your trays for brushing and flossing.

Do you want to know if Invisalign is right for you? Call our Coplay office today to schedule an appointment with Dr. Salivonchik. We’re located in Lehigh Valley and serve patients from Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, The Poconos, and beyond.
