The Perio Protect Method is a comprehensive treatment approach to oral health that incorporates a range of dental therapies with patient homecare. Precise impressions are taken of the patient's mouth and customized trays are fabricated. Patients describe the Perio Tray as comfortable, easy to use, and convenient. The tray is a medical device cleared by the U.S. FDA and intended to be used to place solutions of the clinician's choice into gingival crevices or periodontal pockets, the spaces that can develop between the teeth and gums.

Periodontal Disease

Bacterial infections are at the root of most dental health concerns. A bacterial infection can result when food, bacteria, and tartar are not sufficiently cleaned from the teeth. In the beginning, an infection develops along the gum line, but if it is left untreated it may progress to damage the gums, teeth, and bone. Common symptoms of oral bacterial infections include the following:
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

More than 85% of American adults age 35-44 have bleeding gums. This statistic is important because bleeding gums are a leading indicator that a bacterial infection is taking root.
