New York Dental Practice Shares New Treatment Option for Gum Disease

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. - June 14, 2016 - PRLog -- Dr. William P. Caldon, D.M.D., co-owner of Plattsburgh's High Peaks Dental, offers laser therapy to effectively treat gum disease with less pain and recovery time.

Plattsburgh, NY - June 14, 2016 - Renowned Plattsburgh dentist Dr. William Caldon published a new blog post entitled "Treat Gum Disease without Surgery." In the post, he discusses the signs and symptoms of gum disease and the benefits of using laser therapy to treat it before it progresses.

Says Caldon, "The majority of American adults have at least one thing in common - gum disease. Research shows that at least 60% of us have periodontitis (http://www.highpeaksdental.com/our-services#periodontal), another term for gum disease. Periodontitis is a serious gum infection that damages the soft tissue and destroys the bone that supports your teeth. Gum disease can progress to bone and tooth loss and at advanced stages, to other systemic health issues, like stroke, heart disease, premature birth and diabetes complications. Before that happens, let's look at the signs of gum disease and the treatment options available."

Dr. Caldon has been a co-owner of High Peaks Dental since 1996 after serving in the

United States Air Force for 20 years and retiring as a Colonel. He received his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Louisville and his Bachelor's from Thomas More College. In 2013, USA Today featured Caldon as one of America's Premier Dentists.
