\"laser<\/a>In our last post<\/a>, we talked about how important treating gum disease is\u2014and not just for your oral health. As we noted, gum disease raises your risk of developing a wide range of health problems, including high blood pressure, pulmonary hypertension, pancreatic cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and more.<\/p>\n

Some patients might be anxious about seeking care for gum disease, but gum disease therapy doesn\u2019t have to be uncomfortable. At Dr. Salivonchik\u2019s Coplay <\/b>dental office, we use laser dentistry<\/a> to help patients enjoy better oral and overall wellbeing. Aided by a diode laser<\/b>, Dr. Salivonchik<\/a> can comfortably remove bacteria from above and below the gum line and encourage tooth reattachment, all without the need for a scalpel or stitches. Gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss in adults, but with laser dentistry<\/b>, patients can preserve their oral health and enjoy more of their natural smile for longer.<\/p>\n

A diode laser<\/b> is just one of two lasers you\u2019ll find at our Coplay<\/b> office, though. A Waterlase laser<\/b> can not only be used on gum tissue, it can also be used on teeth for fillings and to help with root canal therapy. Treating teeth with a Waterlase laser<\/b> makes it possible for patients to get important care without the need for local anesthetic. With both of these lasers<\/b>, our Coplay<\/b>-area patients can enjoy excellent care that is comfortable and reduces anxiety.<\/p>\n

Call our Coplay, PA dental office<\/a>\u00a0today to learn more about laser dentistry<\/b> or schedule a consultation with Dr. Salivonchik<\/b>. Our office is located in Lehigh Valley<\/b> and serves\u00a0Whitehall<\/b>,\u00a0Allentown<\/a>, Bethlehem<\/b>, Easton<\/b>, The Poconos<\/b>, and surrounding areas. We look forward to helping you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
