Perio Protect

Gum disease results from bacterial infiltrations and infections of the gum, leading to symptoms like:

• Bleeding gums while brushing or flossing
• Gum recession (longer-looking teeth)
• Visible plaque or tartar buildup
• Gaps forming between teeth
• Red, swollen, or tender gums
• Persistent bad breath
• Loose teeth

Personalized Home Treatment to Control Gum Disease

In addition to the in-office gum therapies recommended by Dr. Fotek, at home gum disease care may be recommended using Perio Protect and Perio Protect Trays. 

How Perio Protect Works

Professional cleanings and thorough home care sometimes aren’t always enough to prevent gum disease recurrence and infections below the gumline. Dr. Fotek may recommend adjunct therapies to  help control the pathological gum microbiome. Perio Protect uses custom-fit trays to go over your teeth to deliver the perio protect gel deep into the gums, managing the bacteria that cause gum disease.

What to expect from Perio Protect:

• Custom-made trays for your mouth
• Uses Peroxide Gel to target bacteria under the gumline while naturally whitening your teeth.
• Comfortable and easy to use
• Non-invasive and pain-free
  

With Perio Protect, the trays are worn for just 15 minutes per application, making it a simple and convenient adjunct to your gum disease therapy. Plus, the same peroxide gel that kills bacteria will also brighten your smile.

Why Perio Protect?

• Low concentration of hydrogen peroxide
• Safe & Natural
• Targets bacteria beneath the gum line
• Truly whitens & brightens teeth!

Perio Protect trays are custom fitted to your mouth to meet your individual periodontal needs. These personalized trays are designed for both comfort and effectiveness, ensuring they provide maximum bacterial fighting benefit. Not only are they simple to use, but they’re also built to last, giving you long-term support in maintaining your oral health.

In addition to your custom trays, you’ll receive a low-concentration hydrogen peroxide gel. This specially formulated gel targets harmful bacteria hiding beneath your gum line, where your toothbrush can’t reach. By filling your trays with the gel and wearing them as recommended by Dr. Fotek and our Biological Periodontal Therapist, the snug-fitting trays will gently and effectively deliver the bacteria killing gel deep into your gums to combat the root cause of gum disease.

Left untreated, gum disease will lead to tooth loss and serious health complications. It's essential to discuss your condition and treatment options with Dr. Fotek and our Biological Periodontal Therapist and follow the recommended therapies.
