Today we\u2019d like to talk about one way <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lehighvalleydentalhealth.com\/meet-dr-john-salivonchik.html\">Dr. Salivonchik<\/a> is providing therapy for gum disease.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally, gum disease has been treated with basic tools. But today, dentists like <strong>Dr. Salivonchik<\/strong> are using dental lasers to provide more comfortable and effective treatment for gum disease. What makes it different from using traditional tools is that a laser seals at the same time as it treats damaged tissue. That reduces bleeding and results in a shorter recovery period.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Is Treating Gum Disease Important?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been estimated that anywhere between 50-80% of the population has some form of gum disease, even if it\u2019s only very mild. What\u2019s more, gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. But even that\u2019s not all. As we mentioned in our last post, gum disease has been connected to health problems in other parts of the body as well.<\/p>\n<p>Have you recently been diagnosed with gum disease? <strong>Dr. Salivonchik<\/strong> has a fast, effective, and comfortable treatment option for you to consider. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lehighvalleydentalhealth.com\/contact-us.html\">Call<\/a> our <strong>Coplay<\/strong> dental office to find out more or to reserve an appointment.\u00a0 We\u2019re located in <strong>Lehigh<\/strong> <strong>Valley<\/strong> and serve patients from <strong>Coplay<\/strong>, <strong>Allentown<\/strong>, <strong>Bethlehem<\/strong>, <strong>Easton<\/strong>, <strong>The<\/strong> <strong>Poconos<\/strong>, and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our last post we talked about the connection between gum disease and heart disease.
