Enjoying Extra Periodontal Protection At Home

Your periodontal specialist in Encinitas/San Diego, CA can provide a range of impressive services that help you maintain your gum health. Did you know that you can actually enjoy extra protection for your gums at home, too? By taking home Perio Protect, you can provide direct care for your gums by directly applying a special anti-bacterial agent to them. This is made possible by a custom tray that makes this application easy to perform. Protecting yourself against gum disease is important. When the problem progresses, it can create serious issues for your appearance, and your oral health. Gum disease can interfere with your general health, and raise your risk for experiencing tooth loss later in life.

Periodontal Problems Need To Be Taken Seriously

How much of a threat do your gums face? That answer depends on how well you keep up with your oral health care regimen. If you are not taking the proper steps by flossing and brushing, you can leave yourself to a buildup of bacteria that increases your risk for an infection. This can be a big problem for any individuals who fail to pay attention to the base of their teeth as they clean. While gingivitis – the early stage of gum disease – can be reversed with a periodontal cleaning, it can take more involved care to keep an advanced periodontal infection under control.

What People Gain By Using Perio Protect To Defend Their Gums

With Perio Protect, you have an extra level of support for your periodontal tissues. By applying an anti-bacterial agent directly to your gums, you can target any harmful agents that might be causing problems for you. This can help you control the growth of bacteria present in these tissues, and ensure that you have extra support if your brushing and flossing efforts have left your gums vulnerable.

Other Tips For Avoiding Gum Disease

Better brushing and better flossing can have a big impact on the quality of your smile, particularly your periodontal health. People who rush through these practices fail to realize that they are not reaching every area of their smile, allowing bacteria to grow, and form plaque. You should also be aware of the signs of poor periodontal health. If you notice your gum line recede, if you bleed from your gums more often, or if you see reddening or swelling in your tissues, a trip to your periodontist can lead to helpful care before the matter worsens!
