If you have been diagnosed with periodontitis or any stage of periodontal disease, you need to seek the assistance of a skilled dentist here in the Houston, Texas area. Dr. Leila Ann Suki is available not only to diagnose your condition but also to provide non-surgical gum disease treatment through Perio Protect. Let’s look closely at how this service can restore your smile’s health and wellness.
What is periodontal disease?
Periodontal disease, or gum disease, is an infection that starts in the gum tissues. It can spread, causing irreparable damage. This is why prevention, diagnosis, and treatment are critical to one’s oral health.
How can periodontal disease be treated?
Periodontal disease is often treated with a deep cleaning by our highly trained hygienist. After a ‘deep cleaning’ is performed, we may advise further supportive therapy, such as the Perio Protect system.
What exactly is Perio Protect?
First, we fabricate a set of custom trays for your teeth. We instruct you on placing a special gel into the trays, which is then dispensed into areas of the mouth that need treatment. In some instances, we may add a topical antibiotic to the trays along with the gel.
What else can Perio Protect help to address?
Perio Protect treatment may also be helpful for other situations, including:
- Halitosis or bad breath
- Dry mouth or Xerostomia
- Patients with acid reflux who suffer from dental disease due to their reflux
- Patients with a high risk of tooth decay. The bacteria that are the main culprits in tooth decay are targeted by the special gel product in the trays.
- Stabilization of dental disease in medically compromised patients
- Maintenance of dental implants
What are the advantages of Perio Protect treatment?
There are several advantages of using Perio Protect treatment for various dental conditions. Some of the key benefits include:
- Non-invasive. Unlike traditional treatments that involve surgery or harsh chemicals, Perio Protect is a non-invasive method that uses custom trays and a special gel to target the bacteria causing dental issues.
- Targeted approach. The custom-fit trays ensure the gel reaches all areas of the mouth, including hard-to-reach places under the gums and between teeth, providing comprehensive treatment.
- Easy to use. The customized trays and gel are easy to use at home, eliminating the need for frequent visits to the dentist’s office. This makes it a convenient option for many of our patients.
