Estimates vary on exactly how common this condition is,\nbut according to some sources, up to 80 percent of people have at least a mild\nform of it. Dentists offer a number of treatments to help their patients fight\ngum disease, among which is the Perio Protect method. This innovative treatment\nprovides a noninvasive, comfortable way to combat the bacterial that causes\nperiodontal disease and help patients achieve improved oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Perio Protect?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Perio Protect method is simple. First, you visit your\ndentist to talk about your treatment options for fighting gum disease. If you\nare a candidate for Perio Protect, your dentist will take impressions of your\nteeth, which will be used as the basis for designing your custom trays. Your\nPerio Protect trays will contain a medicine that fights bacteria deep beneath\nthe gum line \u2014 in the gum pockets where your toothbrush and other over the\ncounter oral hygiene tools cannot adequately clean. You will wear the trays\neach day for a specific length of time and thus be able to battle gum disease\nin the comfort of your own home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trays have a special, patented seal that helps to keep\nthe medicine in place. The low concentration of hydrogen peroxide that they\ncontain not only combats bacteria, but it can also help you achieve fresher\nbreath and whiter teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Choose Perio Protect?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Perio Protect stands out amongst <a href=\"https:\/\/www.santaviccadental.com\/periodontal-therapy.html\">gum disease\ntreatments<\/a> due to its noninvasive nature. Traditionally, scaling and root\nplaning is the go-to method for addressing gum disease. Although it is quite\neffective, some patients find it uncomfortable, and it does require a brief\nrecovery period. In contrast, Perio Protect involves nothing more than wearing\nmouthguard-like trays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In many cases, Perio Protect can be used as a standalone\ntreatment. In other instances, it is the ideal complement for scaling and root\nplaning or surgical procedures. It may be able to prevent the need for\nrecurring invasive treatments and help you maintain sound gum health for many\nyears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vast majority of patients who have used Perio Protect\nwould recommend it to others. Not only is it easy to use, but it is also safe,\ncomfortable, and effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take Charge of Your Gum Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have gum disease, even a mild form of it, it is\nimportant that you seek treatment. If your condition worsens, you could face\nchronic and serious oral and overall health problems, such as tooth loss and\nheart disease. Thanks to Perio Protect and other gum disease treatments,\nhowever, you will likely be able to prevent such issues and enjoy a fully\nfunctional, healthy, and attractive set of teeth and gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Angela J.
