Frequently Asked Questions About Periodontal Health

For most adults, we recommend periodontal screenings during your regular six-month check-ups. However, if you have risk factors such as diabetes, smoking history, or a family history of gum disease, we may recommend more frequent evaluations. Here in Allentown, where we see varying levels of periodontal health, early detection is crucial for successful treatment.
Thanks to our advanced techniques and Dr. Viechnicki’s gentle approach, most patients experience minimal discomfort during treatment. We utilize the latest numbing agents and can help anxious patients relax with sedation.
