Perio Protect
Home Therapy for Gum Problems Gum ( periodontal ) disease is a bacterial infection caused by germs. Traditional treatment has been "mechanical" deep root cleaning and gum surgery. This method improves the gums for a while but does not stop the germs from getting reestablished again. Because of the bacterial nature of gum disease, many patients get gum disease back and just refuse to have gum surgery again. Mainly because is is painful and expensive. Perio Protect is a new method of treating gum problems by applying medicine directly to the gums. It doesn't hurt and is done by the patient at home. Special FDA approved mouthguards are filled with a medicine gel that gets pushed below the gumline. The medicine kills the germs and allows the gums to heal. Bad breath is eliminated, bleeding and swelling of gums stops. There is no pain and it has a pleasant taste. Patients are excited because most can avoid gum surgery. Perio Protect provides a long term approach to gum disease because it eliminates the cause of the problem, germs. NOTE: Side effects include fresh breath, whiter teeth and happy gums.
