The Bucks County Smiles Perio Protect treatment is an easy and convenient at-home system allowing you to tackle gum disease continuously for fast results. We begin by conducting a thorough examination and taking a digital impression of your teeth and gums. Your impressions are sent to an FDA-registered lab to create your Perio Protects trays. Perio Protect trays are thin, soft, and comfortable to wear. Once your trays are ready, you will take them home to begin your treatment. Your trays containing Perio Protect medication will be worn for a few minutes each day after brushing a flossing. The trays are meant to fit snuggly to your teeth and gums allowing the medication to go deep beneath the gumline. This reduces the activity of harmful, disease-causing bacteria in areas that are hard to reach with brushing and flossing. The medicine kills harmful bacteria and breaks the bond between the bacteria and your teeth. As a result, removing plaque and tartar becomes easier. Patients often notice whiter teeth and a less bad breath in addition to a healthier look to their teeth and gums.
