What is Perio Protect?

Perio Protect is a unique and minimally invasive treatment for managing gum disease. It involves wearing a custom-fitted Perio Tray™, which is designed to deliver medication directly into periodontal pockets, which traditional brushing and flossing can’t reach. Each tray is tailored to fit comfortably in your mouth and uses a patented sealing system to ensure that medication reaches deep below the gum line, targeting infection directly.

Using the Perio Tray for just a few minutes daily helps cleanse the gums, reduce harmful bacteria, and decrease inflammation, all of which contribute to the long-term health of your gums.

How does Perio Protect work?

Perio Protect uses the Perio Tray™, which holds and distributes a medication solution deep into the gum pockets. This process combats the bacteria responsible for gum disease, effectively treating infection below the surface where toothbrushes and dental floss cannot reach. Patients typically wear the tray for a few minutes each day, allowing the medication to eliminate bacteria, reduce inflammation, and promote overall gum health.

Why should I consider Perio Protect?

Perio Protect offers many advantages over traditional gum disease treatments. Unlike deep cleaning or surgery, Perio Protect is noninvasive and can be applied comfortably at home. The tray is easy to use, providing a convenient, stress-free way to manage gum health. Beyond disease management, Perio Protect also supports cosmetic benefits, like teeth whitening and fresher breath, making it an excellent choice for those seeking both therapeutic and aesthetic improvements.

Am I a candidate for Perio Protect?

Patients with mild to moderate gum disease or those who prefer a noninvasive approach may benefit from Perio Protect. It’s suitable for individuals looking for a convenient, effective treatment they can use at home as part of their regular dental routine. Your dentist at Dental Associates of NJ can evaluate your gum health and determine whether Perio Protect is right for you.

What can I expect from Perio Protect treatment?

Perio Protect is designed for daily, at-home use. Your dentist at Dental Associates of NJ will create a personalized treatment plan that specifies how frequently to wear the tray and for how long. Although gum disease is a chronic condition, Perio Protect helps control it over the long term, preventing harmful bacteria from recolonizing and reducing the risk of flare-ups. Your dentist will regularly assess your progress and adjust your treatment as needed to maintain the best results.
