Perio Protect is a comprehensive treatment method that is customized for individual patients to help treat the effects of gum disease, which can damage oral tissue, cause bad breath, make chewing difficult, or even destroy the bone that supports your teeth.
The standard cleaning procedures in dental offices help remove plaque and tartar and help reduce bacteria, but unfortunately, bacteria reproduce quickly, so it is difficult to control them between office visits. Fortunately, patients now can have access to a highly effective at-home solution in the form of a Perio Tray.

The Perio Tray® By Perio Protect: Non-invasive Therapy For Gum Disease
The Perio Tray is similar to a mouth guard, but it has a special sealing system to deliver medication below the gums. You put medication in the tray and wear it for a few minutes a day. The medication fights the infections. It’s that easy
The Perio Tray is able to reach deep into the pockets between the teeth and gums, applying medication to infected gum tissue that cannot be reached using toothbrushes, dental floss, or mouthwashes
With Perio Tray therapy, you have a new chance against the infections. 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 Trays are right for you.
Who Is A Good Candidate For Perio Protect®?
Perio Protect is appropriate for a wide range of patients, from those in the early stages of gum disease to those managing more advanced periodontitis alongside professional periodontal therapy. You may be a good candidate if:
- You have been diagnosed with gingivitis or periodontitis
- You have completed Scaling and Root Planing and want to maintain your results
- You struggle with persistent bad breath despite regular brushing and flossing
- You are looking for a non-invasive, at-home option to complement your professional care
- You want to reduce the frequency or intensity of future periodontal treatment
Our team will evaluate your gum health and discuss whether Perio Protect is the right addition to your care plan during your next visit.
