Perio Protect® Offers a Comfortable, Non-invasive Solution for Gum Disease Treatment

Periodontal disease is a bacterial infection that affects gums and surrounding tissues. Over time, the infection damages the teeth-supporting structures, causing loose teeth that eventually fall out. Worse yet, gum disease creates an inflammation overload in the body, triggering heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and other systemic illnesses.

Don’t let gum disease ruin your smile and overall health. Brighton Dental is excited to offer a non-invasive, easy-to-use treatment for gum disease. Perio Protect® in San Diego, California, is a simple yet effective solution for optimal gum health.

How do I know I have gum disease?

Periodontal disease occurs when dental plaque builds up in your mouth. This oral biofilm creates a suitable breeding site for harmful bacteria, which cause gradual damage over time. Depending on the severity of the infection, symptoms of gum disease range.

Some include:

  • Gums that bleed during brushing or flossing
  • Gums that are swollen, red, or sensitive
  • Receding gums
  • Presence of plaque, tartar, or calculus
  • Chronic bad breath
  • Loose or sensitive teeth

If you experience any of these symptoms or suspect your gums may be infected, contact us today. Dr. Paige Woods provides prompt treatment to halt the destructive nature of gum disease. Many patients are surprised that periodontal therapy in San Diego, CA, bears benefits beyond the mouth.

What is Perio Protect®?

Traditionally, gum disease treatment involves scaling and root planing (deep teeth cleaning). Periodontal cleanings effectively eliminate harmful bacteria, but when you return home, the cycle continues. Bacteria recolonizes within days, and your toothbrush and dental floss can’t effectively reach the deep pockets.

Perio Protect® offers a gentle, non-surgical method for addressing gum disease. This treatment uses a custom prescription mouth tray specifically created for your smile. This tray features an internal seal that helps deliver medication deep beneath the gums and combats infectious bacteria at the source. Typically, it is used for just 10-15 minutes each day. This innovative approach enhances disease management, and patients can notice significant improvement within days.

What are the benefits of Perio Protect® trays?

There are several options for treating gum disease. However, Perio Protect® offers a gentle yet powerful way to fight gum disease at home between dental visits. Here are the top benefits of using them:

  • Targeted treatment: The trays deliver medication deep into periodontal pockets where harmful bacteria thrive. This helps reduce infection and inflammation directly at the source.
  • Non-invasive treatment: Unlike surgical options, Perio Protect® is a comfortable, non-invasive solution for treating gum disease. You wear the custom-fitted trays as prescribed—no needles, excisions, or stitches.
  • Convenient treatment: The custom trays are worn for a few minutes daily, making it easy to incorporate treatment into your routine without disrupting your schedule. Watch TV, read a book, and reply to emails while you treat gum disease.
  • Simple use: The trays are self-administered in the comfort of your home. Ease of use makes them ideal for many patients.
  • Fresher breath, whiter teeth: Perio Protect® targets odor-causing bacteria from the deep pockets for fresher breath. Additionally, the hydrogen peroxide-based gel used has prescription-strength whitening benefits.

How to Use Perio Tray™ Therapy by Perio Protect

How to Use Perio Tray™ Therapy by Perio Protect

Congratulations on your choice to use the perio protect method with the non-invasive pareo trays you can comfortably deliver anti microbial medicine to the source of the infection below the gums, this treatment is effective and simple to use when you start the treatment you’ll receive trays and easy to use homecare tools

There is an upper tray and a lower tray the upper tray is easy to identify because the front teeth are slightly larger than those in the lower tray
your dentist will prescribe the best medicine for your mouth if you have been prescribed a liquid medication the brush can be used to evenly distribute the liquid in each tooth indentation

Like the trays the brush needs to be cleaned after it is used and then put away to use next time
the instruction sheet and other information will give you directions for loading cleaning and storing your trays with reminders how often to use the trays and how long they should be used each time

Let’s take a look at how to properly fill an insert pareo protect trays

Gel medication is placed in a thin line across the tooth indentation a little medication goes a long way a thin line is enough

If your doctor prescribes a liquid medication place a few small drops only in the areas of the tray indicated by your doctor

Using the brush evenly distribute the medication making sure it coats the tooth indentation when finished rinse off the brush

Take the tray and place it gently over your teeth because the tray is custom-made for you it will feel snug the special seal will gently direct medication below your gums and around your teeth and keep the medication in place long enough to work against the bacteria causing your gum infection

If the medication seeps out of the tray when inserted you will taste it indicating that you are probably using too much

Spit it out and put a little less in the tray next time follow the exact same procedure with your bottom tray medicine evenly distribute and place the tray over your teeth

Once you have them both in spit out any excess medication in your mouth rinse out the brush and put away all your supplies

Remember it’s important to keep the tray in for at least as long as your dentist instructed

After the prescribed amount of time remove the trays and brush your teeth to remove any excess medication

After every treatment brush the trays with cold water and allow them to air dry or dry them with a clean towel, use cold water only hot or very warm water may cause your trays to warp and then the steel won’t work effectively

The case is an ideal place to store the trays when you are not using them and don’t store the case in a place where it can become too hot you want to keep trays away from direct sunlight and store them at room temperature

See how easy it is most people find that it helps them to remember to use the trays if they do it at the same time they do some other daily activity

Often shower in the morning shave and do the trays

The moment I wake up in the morning is the tray

I frequently use my trays when I’m taking a shower

A lot of times if I know I have to drive somewhere and I’ve got a 30 or 40 minute drive I just take them with me there in while I’m driving and pop them out when I’m done

Well I have a routine I do at work I go to take a little break put it on come back no one knows that I have it all

After dinner sometimes when I’m just watching TV I will do it

Once you get started it’s easy to keep going and not only will you be able to better fight the gum
Infections but the medicine should also make your mouth feel cleaner and freshen your breath

The main change I’ve noticed since using the trays is fresher breath my breath

You know better than before so that’s the moist plus

My breath is really improved kissing quality at home has gotten a lot better

Yeah my mouth feels so much healthier because my mouth just feels clean and fresh and it stays that way all day long

Most people do experience another side effect, the antimicrobial agent can also whiten your teeth

My wife’s always telling me about how nice my smile is how bright it is
My teeth is lighter and I really love that
