Brushing, rinsing and flossing are important. But these efforts fail to reach deep below the gum line where bacteria thrive—in pockets and crevices around edges of the gums.
Traditionally, deep cleanings, known as scaling and root planing, or surgery have been required to reach deep into the pockets to treat advanced gum disease.
Scaling involves numbing the gums then scraping and smoothing the tooth surface to remove bacteria to prevent it from re-sticking to the root where it infects the gum.
Traditionally, brushing, rinsing, and flossing can’t combat deep-rooted gum bacteria, often requiring invasive treatments like scaling and root planing or surgery. These procedures are time-consuming and sometimes painful. Antibiotics may offer temporary relief but pose long-term challenges.
The Perio Protect Method® introduces an alternative approach, providing fresher breath, whiter teeth, and better gum health.
The Perio Protect Method® offers a new way to address some of these issues.

The Perio Protect Method™ (Usage of Perio Trays™) is a minimally invasive, effective gum disease treatment. It is backed by technology, and the results are proven through research. For some patients, the non-invasive Perio Trays reduce the need for surgical intervention. For others, it can be a potent compliment to traditional treatment methods, helping to ensure a more successful outcome.
Example of Perio Tray® being placed over teeth
One of the strongest defenses against viruses, such as Covid-19, is a robust immune system that enables us to fight infection. That’s why we’re dedicated to assisting our patients in boosting their immunity.
Moreover, there are numerous scientifically-based recommendations to enhance your immune system, including consuming nutritious foods, maintaining a balanced diet, ensuring adequate sleep and physical activity, spending time outdoors for sunlight exposure, and managing stress.
Additionally, research indicates that treating chronic infections, including those in the mouth, may help improve immunity.
For years, it has been recognized that bacteria from gum disease can be aspirated into the lungs. When this occurs, the lung’s ability to combat infection is compromised, potentially increasing the risk of co-infections, such as viruses like COVID-19.
Upon receiving your custom Perio Trays™, your dental team will demonstrate how to place a small amount of prescription medicine in each tray. Additionally, you only need to wear it for a few minutes each day. Furthermore, your dentist will personally design a treatment plan for you, as the duration and frequency vary for each patient.
Moreover, here’s an example of a Perio Tray™ placed over your teeth.
The term “Peri” originates from the ancient Greek word meaning “around, about or enclosing,” while “Odon” comes from Greek, meaning “tooth.” Furthermore, periodontal care involves the treatment of “periodontal disease” or any range of ailments affecting the gums and surrounding supportive areas of the teeth. This encompasses anything from gum infections to severe gum deterioration, necessitating periodontal care.
Moreover, Perio Trays™ simplify common areas of periodontal care and offer additional benefits.
Google defines ‘invasive’ as involving the introduction of instruments or other objects into the body or body cavities, typically associated with medical procedures. Conversely, noninvasive treatments do not require dental tools, scraping, or other potentially uncomfortable methods.
Given this definition, it’s important to note that the Perio Protect Method® (utilizing Perio Trays®) is considered a minimally invasive yet effective gum disease treatment.
Moreover, for some patients, using non-invasive Perio Trays® reduces the need for surgical intervention. Additionally, for others, they can serve as a highly-effective complement to traditional treatment methods, contributing to a more successful outcome.
Indeed, custom-made Perio Trays™ are designed to deliver treatment deep into periodontal pockets (the tiny crevices between the teeth and gums) for 10-15 minutes at a time. This means patients can address infections while getting ready in the morning, while walking the dog, or while reading a book—without worrying about technique or proper form.
Additionally, here’s an example of a home-use Perio Tray™ kit.
While there is no ‘cure’ for gum disease, daily treatment can effectively manage it by preventing pathogenic bacteria from recolonizing. Additionally, once the desired results have been achieved, your dentist will revise your treatment plan to maintain these results.
Moreover, for some patients, the non-invasive Perio Trays reduce the need for surgical intervention. Furthermore, in other cases, they serve as a potent complement to traditional treatment methods, contributing to a more successful outcome.
Lastly, the Perio Protect Method™ presents an appealing, minimally invasive option for both advanced periodontitis and early-stage gum disease.
Traditional whitening products can sometimes cause sensitivity. Perio Trays™ deliver a lower concentration of hydrogen peroxide that will comfortably and slowly whiten your teeth over 5-6 weeks, then maintain that brightness through daily 15-minute treatments. Plus, you’ll have healthier gums and fresher breath!
Many benefits in using Perio Trays™!
