You are not alone. Americans have gum disease: gingivitis or periodontitis.

Gum disease is the body's response to a bacterial infection in your gum tissue. Common symptoms of oral bacterial infections in the gum tissue include:
  • Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing
  • Receding gums (teeth appear longer)
  • Obvious plaque, tartar or calculus
  • Spaces developing between your teeth
  • Swollen, red or tender gums
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Sensitive teeth
  • Teeth are loose or mobile
Bacterial infections develop when food, bacteria, and tartar are left on the teeth. In the beginning, an infection can develop along the gum line. The bacteria form a community called a biofilm that grows down into the space or pocket that develops between the teeth and gum tissue.

Brushing and flossing continue to be important, but even with standard homecare, 80% of Americans have some form of gum disease and need more help.

Oral bacteria causing infections in gum tissue may threaten more than your teeth amd gums. Research has established associations between oral bacteria and systemic diseases including:
  • Type 2 Diabetes
  • Heart Disease
  • Respiratory Disease
  • Blood Clots
  • Strokes
  • Preterm and Low Birth Weight Babies
  • Chronic Inflammation
Perio Protect is a comprehensive method that is customized for individual patients to help manage biofilms with minimally invasive dentistry.

The standard cleaning procedure in the dental offices (e.g. scaling and root planning) help remove plaque and tartar and help reduce bacteria, but unfortunately bacteria reproduce quickly and biofilms regenerate very easily, so it is difficult to control them between office visits.

Your patented Perio Protect Trays are similar in appearance to teeth whitening trays or a mouthguard. We will custom-fit them for your smile and prepare them with medication that has been custom-prescribed just for you. Your Perio Protect Trays will treat your gums while you go about your normal home routines. They are light and comfortable, and as your gum health improves, you can wear the trays less frequently and for shorter periods of time.

Finally! We have a very simple method to fight periodontal disease!
