Using Perio Protect trays as non-invasive gum therapy
Dr. Yijia Li of A & S Dental Wellness Center of Leominster in Leominster, Massachusetts, educates her patients on keeping their smiles healthy and free from periodontal disease and tooth decay. But if an infection does develop, a definitive diagnosis and appropriate treatment can be discussed to ensure that it doesn’t worsen. If you are looking for a non-invasive gum therapy as an alternative to traditional treatments, feel free to ask our team about the PerioProtect system.
What is PerioProtect treatment?
PerioProtect is a treatment method that uses a custom-made tray to deliver medication to the gums. The tray is worn for a short period, typically around 15 minutes a day, and helps to kill bacteria and reduce inflammation. PerioProtect is often used in conjunction with other periodontal treatments, such as scaling and root planing, to achieve the best possible results.
Actual Patient Results
Why choose PerioProtect?
Visiting the dentist every few months for a cleaning is not the only way patients can help with their periodontal disease. It also takes steps at home. PerioProtect allows patients to treat their condition in the comfort of their own home with daily treatment to combat the infection that causes periodontal disease. This proactive approach to oral health and wellness will improve the smile faster than with scaling and root planning visits alone.
Who is a good candidate for PerioProtect?
Patients diagnosed with periodontal disease are often good candidates for PerioProtect. This treatment is also usually recommended for patients at high risk for developing periodontal diseases, such as those with diabetes or smokers. It may be used periodically as a preventative, especially in patients who may have had periodontal disease in the past and have their condition under the care and attention of a dental professional.
How do I learn more about PerioProtect?
PerioProtect can only be obtained by a dental professional. That is why an evaluation with Dr. Yijia Li of A & S Dental Wellness Center of Leominster in Leominster, MA is the first step in determining if you qualify for this medication system.
