What We Offer
Gum disease is very prevalent in our society, affecting more than half of adults, according to some studies. Have you noticed loose teeth, bad breath, or swollen or bleeding gums?
Did you know that, if left untreated, periodontal disease and gingivitis can lead to periodontitis, bone loss or tooth decay in your mouth or even a heart attack from the potentially invasive bacterial infection?
Highly-regarded Clarks Summit gingivitist dentist and periodontist Joseph Kelly, Jr, D.M.D., is a periodontist with the experience to offer the most effective periodontics treatment options. Depending on the severity of the condition, we may be able to help with non-surgical treatment options such as scaling and root planing, which means a deep cleaning of pockets.
In more serious cases, we may recommend surgical treatment to regenerate bone that has decayed or to close pockets and make them free of gum infection.
In any event, regular appointments at Kelly Dental Care are important even after the first treatment and can help you avoid a recurrence of gingivitis.
It's easy to make an appointment. Just call us at (570) 587-4787 or stop in to arrange for a consultation. Our friendly team will be happy to discuss the many affordable options available to meet your dental needs.
Don't Forget to Floss!
Clean between teeth daily with floss or an interdental cleaner. Decay-causing bacteria can hide between teeth where toothbrush bristles can't reach. Flossing helps remove plaque and food particles from between teeth and under the gum line.
Visit Our Office Regularly!
Take good care of your smile. Remember to visit the dentist regularly for professional cleanings and oral exams.
Mouthwash Is Important, Too!
Brushing and flossing may not be enough. The ADA now recommends using an antimicrobial mouthwash to reduce plaque and prevent gingivitis.
