Perio Protect® in Center City Philadelphia

Our Perio Protect^® dentists offer a minimally invasive alternative to root planing and scaling or surgery for advanced gum disease. Dentists typically use Perio Protect along with deep cleanings and patients may still need surgery, depending on the severity of their periodontal disease. Deep cleanings are faster and less painful for patients who use Perio Protect at home. We’re proud to offer this revolutionary treatment to our patients. Call to request a consultation to see if Perio Protect treatment is right for you.

What Is Perio Protect?

Perio Protect is a gum disease treatment consisting of custom trays where you place prescription medicine, typically a hydrogen peroxide gel, and wear for a prescribed amount of time each day, typically 15 minutes at a time. The Perio Protect tray allows the medication to reach the infection below the gum line where it kills bacteria and freshens breath.

How Long Do Perio Protect Treatments Take?

One of our qualified Perio Protect dentists will prescribe the number and duration of your treatments after determining the extent of your gum disease. He or she will evaluate your Perio Protect results and when the infection is under control, your dentist may place you on a maintenance schedule.

What Advantages Does a Perio Protect Treatment Have Over Other Options?

If you read Perio Protect reviews, you’ll see that patients are happy to have an alternative to surgery. Putting medicine in a tray and wearing it for a few minutes is much easier than surgery. Since the trays are custom made, they are comfortable and easy to wear. Many of our patients find the treatment easy to fit in their daily schedule. It’s possible to watch TV or do other things around the house while treating your gum disease. You only wear the trays for 10 or 15 minutes at a time.

Bad breath is a common problem for people with gum disease. Many Perio Protect reviews also mention beneficial side effects from the hydrogen peroxide, such as fresher breath and whiter teeth. If you have questions about how Perio Protect can benefit you, please call our office to set up a consultation. We would be happy to answer your questions.
