Dr. Michael Slavin Periodontist at Carol Stream

"Periodontics focuses on the health of your gums and the prevention of gum disease (periodontal disease). If decay or plaque is allowed to build up along the gum line (due to poor oral hygiene), it can lead to serious dental problems such as bleeding gums, pain when chewing, and even tooth loss.Our board-certified periodontist, Dr. Michael Slavin has furthered his dental education to become an expert in this area. Along with our dental hygienists, he evaluates the health of your gums and removes any early signs of plaque buildup and gum disease. This is very important as over 45% of Americans have some form of gum disease. If it is mild, then our hygienists can prevent it spreading with a professional cleaning."
