While your Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontist is ready to help you fight harmful bacteria that can hurt your gums, you are responsible for fighting these microbes on a daily basis. You should keep your gum health in mind when you brush and floss. To make these practices truly effective, take care to thoroughly clean at the base of your teeth during each session. If you are trying to keep an infection under control, or if you hope to avoid periodontal disease, Perio Protect can help by providing additional protection against unwelcome bacteria. This at-home treatment provides patients with custom trays and antimicrobial agents to protect their soft tissues from potential health problems.
The Role Daily Care Plays In Fighting Periodontal Bacteria
Unwelcome bacteria can gather in your mouth throughout your day, which is why proper preventive care is so important. Every time you brush and floss your teeth, your oral hygiene efforts remove these harmful agents before they can interfere with your well-being. The right routine is capable of protecting your teeth and gums so that you do not experience issues at a later date. However, if you start to notice the warning signs of gingivitis, like bleeding gums, swollen or discolored tissues, or receding tissues, you should be concerned! When not resolved in time, an infection can progress to more harmful, and harder to fight, periodontal disease.
Using Perio Protect To Effectively Target Harmful Microbes
As an additional form of support for your smile, you can begin to use Perio Protect to directly fight harmful bacteria gathering under your gums. With this treatment, you can control the spread of microbes that are constantly growing, which helps you control an active infection. Remember that keeping an infection in check means protecting yourself against issues that can result in tooth loss, and may impact your general health in upsetting ways!
