Perio Protect Helps Manage Your Periodontal Disease

If you have periodontal disease, we want to help you manage the issue and avoid issues like tooth loss. With an option like Perio Protect, the trays can help manage the disease following laser treatment, or help prevent it in the early stages of gingivitis. In today’s blog, your Encinitas/San Diego, CA, periodontist talks about our Perio Protect treatment!

The Presence of Periodontal Disease

You should see our team when you experience potential symptoms of periodontal disease, such as sore, red, and bleeding gums, or gums that recede, making teeth appear long or uneven. Our team can conduct an examination to assess the cause and severity of the disease, so we can plan treatment to manage it and protect you from worsening symptoms and the risk of tooth loss. For early stages, we could conduct a deep cleaning and prescribe our Perio Protect trays. In some cases, we may recommend the trays alone. For more severe stages, we could employ our dental laser treatments to treat the disease and follow them up with our trays to continue to keep the issue in check, protecting your smile.

Perio Protect Trays

Harmful oral bacteria can irritate and inflame the gums, and also coat the teeth in plaque and tartar, which harms the health of your gums and teeth. But with this custom treatment, we can control harmful bacteria and help safeguard your smile. Our team will custom-fit the trays for your smile based on detailed digital images we take of your smile. The trays will be designed to fit over your teeth, and deliver a special gel agent that destroys harmful bacteria by leaving healthy bacteria in place. This helps prevent sore and swollen gums, and prevents the disease from reaching a more advanced stage. The trays are easy to wear and maintain, and can help protect your overall oral health!

Preventive Treatments

To truly keep your smile strong, we recommend combining your Perio Protect treatments with daily brushing and flossing. When you brush and floss daily, this helps remove stray food and drink particles that could feed harmful oral bacteria. We also suggest cutting back on sugar and starch in your diet, avoiding tobacco products, and seeing us for routine cleanings every three to four months. If you have any questions about how we manage periodontal issues and keep your smile healthy and strong, then contact our team today.
