When you develop gum disease, you could suffer from symptoms like sore, red gums and bleeding, as well as swelling and recession. Lack of treatment allows the disease to reach a more severe state known as periodontitis, one linked to adult tooth loss. But our team can help manage the issue, often starting in the early stages or following treatment with dental lasers. We want to help you avoid tooth loss and worsening symptoms, so you can smile with confidence and maintain a full smile!
The Perio Protect system is designed to control the growth of harmful bacteria and help protect your smile from worsening stages of gum disease. Treatment involves custom-fitting a set of trays that you will wear for a set amount of time each day. The trays help deliver a special medication to the gums and between the teeth, which can destroy the harmful oral bacteria that is left behind when you brush and floss. The trays can fight inflammation and other symptoms and help your smile stay strong and healthy. You avoid discomfort and enjoy better oral health! The trays are easy to use and clean, and can travel with you as needed. We can offer these to protect your smile if you have gingivitis, or to help manage the disease following treatments like the LANAP protocol or the Pinhole Surgical Technique.
Along with the use of our Perio Protect trays, we want you to take other steps to protect your oral health. Try to avoid tobacco products that worsens inflammation and cut back on sugar and starch, as this feeds harmful oral bacteria. Be sure you brush twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste for two minutes and floss every evening, as this removes stray food and drink particles that could feed disease-causing bacteria. If you have any questions about our Perio Protect trays, or about any of our other treatment options to manage periodontal disease, then contact our team today. Everyone deserves a healthy and whole smile, and we’re ready to help!
