Available only through dentists certified by Perio Protect®, custom Perio Trays™ are fabricated to fit precisely over your teeth and gum tissue with special seals that direct medication to the site of the infection and maintain it there for a sufficient frequency and duration to treat the disease effectively. For most patients, this amounts to minutes each day. As healing occurs and your conditions improve, your dentist will modify the frequency and duration of usage, gradually decreasing your usage until the disease is under control and you follow a homecare maintenance schedule to keep the disease at bay.

If you do not choose the Perio Protect Method™, dentists have other options to treat your 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. Laser treatment with a safe wavelength is a good new option but it does not prevent the re-growth of the bacterial infection between treatment visits, requiring additional appointments. Surgery is an even more invasive procedure involving cutting away and replacing the diseased gum tissue. This can be 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, but the patient must return to the dentist every few weeks and there can be problems with bacterial resistance to antibiotics.

With the Perio Protect Method™ you have an effective solution to eradicating the bacterial infection. It has proven to be painless, easy, efficient and reliable. 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! And your mouth may not be the only beneficiary. Healthy teeth and gum may contribute to overall health. See the webpage Is Gum Disease Serious? to find out more.
