What is Perio Protect?

Considering Perio Protect® to address gum disease problems? While it is rather new, the treatment has been proven to be quite successful. Unlike other gum disease treatments, Perio Protect® is gentle, non-invasive and very convenient. 

While good oral hygiene, such as brushing and flossing does help keep gums in good shape, there are times where brushing and flossing alone are not enough. Thankfully, the Perio Protect® method exists, which can be quite helpful in maintaining healthy and strong gums. Below is an overview of Perio Protect®, which is a minimally invasive treatment for the gums. This information can be helpful to review and consider when looking into gum disease treatment.

The Perio Protect® method

Understanding the treatment

The Perio Protect® treatment method is one that relies on take-home trays and a strong, periodontal solution. The solution acts as an anti-bacterial agent, as it targets any existing bacteria and destroys it. The periodontal solution does not just destroy bacteria, it also cleans the pockets of the gums, whitens teeth and freshens breath. Each Perio Protect® tray has a patented seal that places and holds the solution wherever the infection lies.

The trays are worn for just a few minutes each day; however, patients may be required to visit their periodontist monthly or every other month. These appointments allow patients to get solution refills and allow the dentist to monitor the progress of the treatment. 

Why choose Perio Protect®

When considering different gum disease treatments, it is worth looking into Perio Protect®, as there are many benefits: 

• It is convenient, as the treatment can be done at home.
• It is non-invasive and gentle on the mouth.
• It is flexible, as there are no requirements to visit the dental office.
• There is no pain or discomfort involved. 
• The teeth are whitened during treatment, as the solution contains hydrogen peroxide, which is a whitening agent.
• It freshens breath; the solution cleans the gum pockets, which hold odorous bacteria.
• There are no risks that accompany this treatment.

Aside from the general benefits listed above, individual patients may experience additional benefits. Other patient-specific benefits can be identified during a consultation appointment with a dental professional. 

What else to know

It is important to know that the Perio Protect® method alone may or may not be enough for each patient. Because each person has varying needs, it is hard to tell how effective the treatment will be. Individuals who have severe cases of gum disease may require surgical intervention in conjunction with Perio Protect®, while those who have mild cases of gum disease or are at risk of developing an infection may respond really well to the treatment.
