Perio Protect
Cedar Rapids Smile Center’s team of doctors and hygienists works closely with Perio Protect to provide our patients with a solution for repairing and maintaining gum health without any invasive procedures.
Gum disease is caused by a bacterial infection that is hidden below your gums. Dental cleanings can effectively treat the bacteria, but when you return home, the cycle continues. Bacterial cells grow back in just hours after a dental cleaning. Not only is gum disease the number one cause of tooth loss, but research has also linked oral bacterial infections to Type 2 Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases, Alzheimer’s disease, and other chronic inflammatory health conditions.
Perio Protect Trays gently apply medication deep under the gums to fight infection. You use these trays at home for just minutes each day! Your trays will be comfortable, flexible and custom-fit precisely for your mouth.
Perio Protect Trays help prevent cavities, protect your current crowns, bridges, veneers and fillings.
In addition to healthier gums, patients commonly report whiter teeth and fresher breath. If you’ve been told that you have gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis), ask our team if Perio Protect Trays are right for you.
