Filed under: General Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , , — S. John salivonchik @ 7:29 am

The New Year is a time when people are thinking about fresh starts and making New Year’s resolutions. This year, consider adding your teeth to your list of resolutions. Get started on the right foot by scheduling your regular checkup today!

In order to have good dental health, it’s important to make sure you come to Dr. Salivonchik’s office twice a year for your regular dental checkup appointment. Brushing and flossing aren’t enough on their own to keep your teeth healthy.

We also test for gum disease, oral cancer, and inspect your mouth for cavities. This important preventative care is why it is so important to have regular checkups. If you do happen to have an issue, regular checkups can help us catch them before it becomes detrimental to your dental health. Our caring staff is waiting to help!

Make a resolution for better dental health in 2013. Start this commitment to yourself by coming in for your dental checkup. Brushing twice a day, flossing, and having a regular dental checkup every six months are all part of a healthy dental care routine.

Call our Coplay office today to schedule your appointment. Dr. Salivonchik provides effective, patient-centered care for patients from Coplay, Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, The Poconos, and all around the Lehigh Valley area.

October is here, and that means fall is well under way. And with fall comes a change in the weather and beautiful fall colors. It also means the holidays are about to begin; Halloween is just weeks away, with Thanksgiving and the Christmas season just around the corner. Along with the holidays come two things: holiday treats and holiday parties. Wouldn’t you like to enjoy all that this time of year has to offer without feeling self-conscious about your smile?

During a fall checkup and cleaning at Dr. Salivonchik’s Coplay dental office, we can complete a thorough oral exam that will help us—and you—understand how your smile is doing. We can also recommend a general, cosmetic, or restorative service to help you improve the health, appearance, and functionality of your smile. That way you can approach the holidays with an improved sense of confidence and get the most out of what they have to offer.

What Can Invisalign Do for Me?

May 31, 2012

The short answer to the question, “What can Invisalign do for me?” is “A lot.” If you’ve ever worried that straightening your smile would mean giving up your professional image, Invisalign can put your fears to rest. With Invisalign, you can finally have the improved smile, the improved confidence, and the improved lifestyle you’ve dreamed of.

Straightening Smiles with Invisalign

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made acrylic aligners to gradually move teeth into their ideal alignment. You’ll wear each pair for about two weeks until you’ve completed your treatment.

Because Invisalign uses clear trays to straighten teeth instead of brackets and wires, you can look forward to straightening your smile without drawing attention to your braces. Most people won’t even know you’re wearing them.

But what sets Invisalign apart even more from other orthodontic solutions is that Invisalign’s aligners are removable. That means you can remove them for special events – like an important meeting or night out with friends – or for regular brushing and flossing. By removing them to brush and floss, you can ensure that your teeth get the thorough cleansing they deserve. With bracket-and-wire braces, on the other hand, it can be difficult to really give teeth the care they need to stay healthy, resulting in unintended cavities.

Are You Ready To Learn More?

If you’d like to learn more about how Dr. Salivonchik can help you transform your smile with Invisalign, call our office today to schedule a consultation appointment. We’d be happy to answer any questions you might have, in addition to explaining treatment more thoroughly. Call us today if you live in and around the Lehigh Valley area.

The importance of treating TMD

March 1, 2012

Filed under: General Dentistry — Tags: , , , , , , , , , — S. John salivonchik @ 7:00 am

Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) commonly spells the following problems for suffers: chronic headaches; facial, neck, shoulder, jaw, or low back pain; tingling in the hands or fingers; a jaw that pops or clicks; bruxism (teeth grinding); an inability to fully open or close the mouth; chronic earaches.

However, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain or TMD is more complicated than some think. New research shows that people with TMD have greater heart rate increases during mild physical and psychological stress. This links one’s level of pain to the body’s physiological regulating system. Also, there appears to be a genetic connection to TMD.  Researchers have identified specific genes known to influence stress response, psychological well-being and inflammation.

For more information about treatment for TMD, click here or call Dr Salivonchik’s Whitehall practice on (610) 502-1545 to schedule an appointment. Located in Lehigh Valley, the practice serves patients from Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, The Poconos, and surrounding areas.
