Perio Protect® in Hollywood, FL

The Perio Protect Method™ is a comprehensive, customized treatment approach designed to manage oral biofilms—communities of bacteria—growing in the spaces or pockets between teeth and gum tissue for lasting oral health.

The Method combines traditional mechanical debriding procedures with a non-invasive chemical debriding therapy. This chemical therapy uses a customized prescription dental tray to deliver doctor-prescribed solutions directly into the periodontal pockets. The solutions, most commonly containing oxidizing and oxygenating agents, chemically debride (remove) the slimy protective biofilm coating and cleanse the oral wounds.

Dentists may apply these chemical agents before mechanical procedures to help reduce bacterial populations, thereby minimizing the risk of introducing bacteria into the bloodstream during the cleaning.

For most patients, placing the prescribed solutions into the pockets via the comfortable, customized tray requires only a few minutes each day between office visits. The actual combination of mechanical treatment, chemical therapies, and the treatment plan is determined by a dentist evaluating the patient's specific conditions.
