Perio Protect Tray Therapy
Non-invasive Perio Tray™ therapy holds medication deep below the gums
Making a Difference In The Oral and Overall Health In Our Community.
When it comes to dental care, routine brushing, rinsing, and flossing are essential. However, these methods cannot reach deep below the gumline where harmful bacteria thrive in the periodontal pockets and recesses of the gum tissue.
Traditionally, addressing advanced gum disease has required deep cleanings like root planing and scaling, or even surgery. These procedures involve numbing the gums and scraping the tooth surfaces to remove bacteria, but bacteria quickly repopulate, leading to temporary results. Antibiotics may offer immediate relief, but overuse can lead to drug resistance and side effects like C. diff.
Perio Protect Tray Therapy is a doctor-prescribed, patient-applied solution. Custom Perio Trays are designed to fit snugly, deliver prescription medicine directly to the infected pockets below the gums.
Using a low concentration of hydrogen peroxide, they gently cleanse the area, combat bacteria, whiten teeth, and freshen breath.
This non-invasive approach complements in-office treatments, supporting long-term oral health. While gum disease may not have a cure, it can be effectively managed with daily treatment. The Perio Protect Method offers a minimally invasive option for patients with gingivitis and chronic periodontitis, ensuring optimal oral health for the long haul, including around crowns and implants.
Methodology
The Perio Protect Method combines in-office procedures with Perio Tray homecare for minimally invasive, comprehensive treatment. It is backed by technology, and the results are proven through research.
Where Other Methods Fall Short
Brushing, rinsing, and flossing are important. But these efforts fail to reach deep below the gum line where bacteria thrive—in the periodontal pockets.
Traditionally, deep cleanings, known as root planing and scaling, or surgery have been required to reach deep into the pockets to treat advanced gum disease. Scaling involves numbing the gums and scraping the tooth surface to remove bacteria, which quickly repopulates. Surgery traditionally requires cutting the tissues to lift a flap to be able to clean the root surfaces.
Antibiotics are sometimes prescribed to fight bacteria. Immediate results can be promising, but they are often only temporary. And over-prescription of antibiotics can compromise the efficacy of the drug and also cause significant side effects like C. diff.
Perio Tray™ Therapy
Perio Protect homecare is doctor-prescribed and patient-applied. When you receive your custom Perio Tray™, your dental team will show you how to place a small amount of prescription medicine in each tray. You wear it for just minutes each day. Your dentist will also design a treatment plan specifically for you, as the duration and frequency varies for each patient.
The trays are designed with a patented seal to place and hold medication where it is most effective—at the site of infection deep below the gums. A low concentration of hydrogen peroxide gently and thoroughly cleanses the periodontal pockets, combatting bacteria, whitening your teeth and freshening your breath.
Non-invasive Perio Tray™(bold this) therapy complements in-office treatment, supporting more successful outcomes for long-term health.
While there is no “cure” for gum disease, it can be managed with daily treatment to prevent pathogenic bacteria from recolonizing. When the desired results have been achieved, your dentist will revise your treatment plan to maintain the results.
The Perio Protect Method is an appealing, minimally invasive option for patients with gingivitis and chronic periodontitis. It also keeps the gums healthy around crowns and implants for optimal restorative care with long-lasting results.
