Perio Protect™
is a revolutionary new method to treat most periodontal disease using an FDA cleared medical
device to deliver doctor-prescribed medications directly to the source of the infection.
It is painless and easy, with years of reliable and proven clinical results.
Periodontal disease is a bacterial infection resulting when food, bacteria, and tartar are not sufficiently
cleaned from the teeth. In the beginning, the infection develops along the gum line, but if it is left
untreated it will progress beneath the gums to damage the gums, teeth, and bone.
Those who suffer from periodontal disease often encounter the following :
- Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing
- Receding gums (teeth appear longer)
- Obvious plaque, tartar or calculus
- Spaces developing between your teeth
- Swollen, red or tender gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Sensitive teeth
- Teeth are loose or mobile
Dentists have a variety of options for treating periodontal disease but certain drawbacks remain for each
method:
- Scaling and root planing is an intense scraping of the teeth to remove the bacteria and tartar above and below the gum line.
This can be painful and must be repeated every few months.
- Surgery is an even more invasive procedure involving cutting away and replacing the diseased gum tissue.
This is quite painful and time consuming since each section of the mouth must be performed separately.
- Newer treatments involve placing antibacterial medication into the sulcus or periodontal pocket to kill the infection.
However, for this treatment the patient must return to the dentist every few weeks.
But now, there is a new option - the
Perio Protect Method™ using FDA-cleared Perio Protect Trays™
to deliver
doctor-prescribed medications to the source of the periodontal infection. These medications address the pathogens
that cause gum disease.
This method has proven to be painless, easy, efficient and reliable. Worn for minutes each day, Perio Protect
Trays™ fit right over your teeth and allow an effective concentration of medicine to be maintained at the
point of infection.
The trays and the medication they deliver allow you to take control of your oral health and be well on your
way to a healthy smile!
Patients’ response to treatment has proven to be extremely rapid, and patient acceptance has been outstanding.
The method is easy to follow and painless, and the medications help to control the bacteria that cause the disease
infection.
