What is Perio Protect?
At Parkway Dental in Carrollton, Texas, we are committed to providing our patients with the latest advancements in dental care, including Perio Protect. Perio Protect is an innovative and non-invasive treatment for gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, that utilizes custom-fitted trays and prescription medication to effectively manage and combat the condition.
Gum disease is a common oral health issue characterized by inflammation and infection of the gums, which can lead to gum recession, tooth loss, and even systemic health problems if left untreated. Perio Protect offers a proactive approach to gum disease management by delivering antimicrobial medication directly to the source of the infection, below the gumline, where traditional methods may not reach.
How Parkway Dental Carrollton can help
Non-Invasive Treatment: Unlike traditional surgical treatments for gum disease, such as scaling and root planing or gum surgery, Perio Protect is non-invasive and does not require incisions or anesthesia. The custom-fitted Perio Trays® are designed to comfortably fit over your teeth and gums, allowing for convenient and pain-free treatment at home.
Targeted Medication Delivery: The key to Perio Protect's effectiveness lies in its ability to deliver antimicrobial medication directly to the pockets of infection below the gumline. The Perio Trays® are filled with a prescribed medication, typically a hydrogen peroxide gel, which is then worn for a specified period each day. This targeted approach helps eliminate bacteria and reduce inflammation, promoting healing and gum tissue regeneration.
Customized Treatment Plan: Each patient at Parkway Dental receives a customized Perio Protect treatment plan tailored to their individual needs and severity of gum disease. Your dentist will take impressions of your teeth to create custom-fitted Perio Trays®, ensuring optimal contact between the medication and your gum tissue for maximum effectiveness. This personalized approach allows for precise and targeted treatment, resulting in better outcomes and improved oral health.
Convenience and Comfort: One of the main advantages of Perio Protect is its convenience and comfort. Unlike frequent visits to the dental office for traditional gum disease treatments, Perio Protect can be administered in the comfort of your own home. The Perio Trays® are discreet and can be worn while performing daily activities, such as working, exercising, or sleeping, making it easy to incorporate into your routine without disruption.
Preventative Maintenance: In addition to treating existing gum disease, Perio Protect can also serve as a preventative measure to help maintain healthy gums and prevent future infections. By using Perio Trays® regularly as part of your oral hygiene routine, you can keep bacteria levels in check and reduce the risk of gum disease recurrence. This proactive approach to oral health can save you time, money, and discomfort in the long run by avoiding more extensive dental treatments.
Improved Overall Health: Research has shown that gum disease is linked to a variety of systemic health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections. By effectively managing gum disease with Perio Protect, you not only improve your oral health but also reduce the risk of developing these serious health conditions. Investing in your gum health with Perio Protect can have far-reaching benefits for your overall well-being and quality of life.
Perio Protect at Parkway Dental offers new patients in Carrollton, Texas, a non-invasive, targeted, and effective solution for managing gum disease and maintaining optimal oral health.
