Providing comprehensive, patient-driven treatments which primarily create value for our patients through the continuous introduction of non-surgical therapies as a way of professional life. We are committed that surgical periodontal therapy should not be done until all non-surgical avenues have been exhausted.
Enhanced and super-enhanced non-surgical periodontal therapy consists of root planing ( always done with a local anesthetic in order to get the best of results) which is enhanced with one or two antibiotics which are taken orally. Even though this is non-surgical therapy, the gums are detached from the teeth from the gum disease and in some cases the gums are "flabby".

When traveling on I-90 or I-79 go to the State Street Exit of I-90 (#27 exit) and go north. This is Rt. 97. Proceed north approximately 1 mile to the red light where Rt. 97 veers right and Rt. 505 now goes straight ahead. Go straight ahead on Rt. 505 for approximately 1.7 miles to the first red light which is clearly marked "38th Street".
While generally we see patients who have been referred to us, patients can call us directly if they have concerns regarding the health of their gums. If you are having "throbbing and pulsating" pain from a tooth, you should see a general dentist since this is usually a problem with a dead nerve in a tooth.
Since Dr. Valentine does practice in Erie, Warren (PA) and Ashtabula, these different offices have different hours. Dr. Valentine practices in Erie on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. The office is open from 8:00 AM until 5:00 PM. Patients who are seeing Dr. Valentine or either of the dental hygienists are seen within this time frame.
Our commitment to your health and that of your teeth and gums involves the care, skill and judgement that we bring to you in providing minimally-invasive, maximally-predictable therapies. As you bring your hopes, time, effort and motivation to our practice, we also know how important is the issue of the treatment costs, and where applicable, how dental insurance may help you obtain the necessary treatments.
There are a variety of new products designed for periodontal therapy. Since some may have some strong marketing to consumers being done, there can be some distortion regarding how well these may work. In the eyes of the product manufacturers, their products may be great. However, we as periodontal clinicians frequently do not share the same level of confidence in these products that their manufacturers do.
