Dental Hygiene

Your daily dental hygiene is one of the biggest factors in your periodontal health. This can be for better or worse based on your individual habits. Brushing, flossing, a sensible diet and diligent biannual checkups all contribute to healthy dental hygiene and reduced risk of developing gum disease.  It is also wise to abstain from tobacco, alcohol, and foods high in sugar.


Maintaining good dental hygiene is simple but it goes quite a long way. We invite you to Lehigh Valley Smiles to ensure that your efforts have been effective and provide any necessary periodontal health treatments, including scaling and root planning and professional cleanings. Call 610-252-7414 to arrange your appointment.

Oral Cancer Screening

If you’re age fifty or over, you’ve used tobacco products and drink on a regular basis, an oral cancer screening is one of the most important preventative health procedures you can undergo. This simple, non-invasive screening is used to check for any abnormalities that could indicate the presence of cancerous cells. Like most cancers, oral cancer is much easier to treat and recover from when it’s caught early.  Even if you do not have many oral cancer risk factors in your life, all patients ages seventy or older should undergo regular oral cancer screenings. We provide oral cancer screenings right here at Lehigh Valley Smiles. To find out if you’re due for an oral cancer screening, please call us directly at 610-252-7414 or learn more on our website.

Digital X-Rays

We strive to make Lehigh Valley Smiles a modern dentistry that all of our patients can rely upon for both simple and involved procedures. One of the technologies we use to ensure our service capabilities is digital x-rays. Like conventional film x-rays, digital x-rays allow us to gain insight into the health and structure of your oral cavity. Unlike conventional film x-rays, digital x-rays produce a high quality, digital capture that makes it easier to display, examine, store and transfer the results.  Digital x-rays also emit 80% less radiation than conventional x-rays, providing you with added care assurance and peace of mind.


You can learn more about digital x-rays on our website, or call 610-252-7414 to experience the benefits of our capabilities firsthand.
