Since Perio Protect became available from dentists in 2004, it has served as a leader in effective, minimally invasive treatments combating gum disease. Perio Protect is a customized dental tray that targets medication to fight collections of bacteria, known as biofilm, that develop in the microscopic pockets between teeth and gums. Used by patients at home, Perio Protect helps fight and control oral bacteria in between dentist visits. An effective way to disrupt biofilm growth and prevent gum disease, the primary function of Perio Protect is to allow patients to achieve longer lasting oral health. Dental studies indicate that nearly 85 percent of Americans have some form of gum disease; most do not realize they have it and therefore leave the condition untreated. Because of this growing problem, dentists around the world have coined gum disease the “hidden disease” and the “silent epidemic.” Leaving the pockets of bacteria underneath the gums unchecked can lead to significant health concerns that often necessitate numerous visits to the dentist for deep cleaning sessions or even surgical procedures. However, using Perio Protect as a homecare management regimen in between dentist check-ups can greatly reduce the risk of a severe condition that requires these invasive treatments. The customized, prescription periodontal tray is non-invasive, easy to use, comfortable, gentle, and only needs to be used for minutes a day. Better oral health is now easily within reach with Perio Protect.
