Perio Protect

Perio Protect is a minimally invasive, non-surgical gum disease treatment. It uses a custom-fitted tray that delivers medication directly to the affected areas. This helps to kill the bacteria that cause gum disease and inflammation, and can help to regrow lost gum tissue.

Perio Protect is a safe and effective treatment for gum disease. It has been shown to be effective in reducing inflammation, pocket depth, and bleeding on probing. It can also help to prevent the need for more invasive treatments, such as surgery.

Perio Protect is a good option for people with mild to moderate gum disease. It is also a good option for people who are not good candidates for surgery or who want to avoid surgery.

Perio Protect is a two-step treatment. First, a dentist or dental hygienist will take impressions of your teeth. These impressions will be sent to a lab, where a custom-fitted tray will be created. Once the tray is ready, you will return to the dentist or hygienist for the second step of treatment.

During the second step of treatment, the dentist or hygienist will apply medication to the tray. You will then wear the tray for 30 minutes a day for two weeks. After two weeks, you will return to the dentist or hygienist for a follow-up visit.

Perio Protect is a relatively easy treatment to follow. The most common side effects are gum sensitivity and taste changes. These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own.

If you are considering Perio Protect, be sure to talk to your dentist or dental hygienist. They can help you decide if Perio Protect is the right treatment for you.
