Perio Protect

About 47% of Americans suffer from periodontal disease, which is a condition that effects the tissues and bone surrounding the teeth.

Untreated periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss and symptoms may not be obvious until your gums or bone are seriously damaged.

Perio Protect is a comprehensive approach to gum disease treatment. The approach combines dental cleanings with the comfortable Perio Tray®  delivery of medication that patients use at home between office visits. The Perio Tray is similar to a mouth-guard, but it has a special sealing system to deliver medication below the gums. You put medication in the tray and wear it for 15 minutes a day. The medication fights the infections. It’s that easy.

The Perio Protect treatment approach uniquely adds more effective home-care to a treatment plan. Bacteria that cause inflammation and disease are hidden deep below the gums and are extremely difficult to manage at home with toothbrushes, rinses and floss. The Perio Tray is able to reach deep into the pockets between the teeth and gums, applying medication to infected gum tissue that cannot be reached using toothbrushes, dental floss, or mouthwashes. In fact, the Perio Protect Tray was created to help patients fight periodontal diseases in a noninvasive, nonsurgical way; 100% of patients reported fresher breath and whiter teeth.
