What Is Perio Protect?
The Perio Protect Method™ is a nonsurgical periodontal disease treatment developed for patients with gum (periodontal) problems. Made for home-based use, the approach works through a personalized, patented Perio Tray™ complete with a specialized sealing system. The mouth tray fits securely over the teeth to transport a prescription hydrogen peroxide medication deep beneath the gums. The gel-based formula targets destructive, pathogenic bacteria to enhance gum health and help prevent the progression of gum disease. Perio Protect may be recommended as a complement to other periodontal disease therapies or if additional options are ineffective.

Am I a Candidate for the Perio Protect Method?
Perio Protect offers a comfortable, easy-to-use, and self-administered approach to treating periodontal conditions from the convenience of your home. Ideal patients for this method of care usually involve:
- Individuals diagnosed with gingivitis or periodontitis
- Individuals who have had or are undergoing gum disease therapy (scaling and root planing or osseous surgery)
Periodontal problems may affect your dental and general health in many ways. It can result in tooth loss and concerning medical conditions if neglected. Some of the more common signs and symptoms of periodontal disease are:
- Malodorous breath
- Bleeding gums while brushing or flossing
- A receding gumline
- Tooth mobility
- Swollen or tender gum tissue
Should you experience any indication of gum concerns, please inform our dental team so we can determine if Perio Protect can help meet your needs.
How Does Perio Protect Work?
To begin the Perio Protect process, our staff will take impressions of your top and bottom teeth. These molds will be delivered to the Perio Protect lab, where your Perio Trays will be custom-crafted for an exact fit. When your trays arrive at our office, we will have you return to try them in and review your custom treatment strategy. Our staff will show you how to place a small quantity of Perio Protect formula in the trays and position them in your mouth. It is important to use your treatment as advised by our providers, which could initially include wearing them for 10 – 15 minutes, 2 – 3 times a day. Follow-up appointments may be scheduled at our Springfield, MA dental office so we can monitor your treatment progress and assess your gum health.

The best service in dental in the pine valley..
I love this place starting from the receptionist to the hygienist, they show concerns how they care and have a way to make you feel comfortable. Kayla and dawn are beautiful warm people. I highly recommend People’s dential!!!
Peoples Dental will always be a bright part of my day. They are family. Never had a bad time or a poor experience. Swing by on my lunch break yesterday to get a filling and I was back at work within the hour performing an Internal Audit with a smile on my face. I tell all my friends and family about Peoples Dental.
I went for my consultation on Tuesday the 16th. Upon entering the office, it is very clean and I was greeted with a "happy to have you here" by Julie at the front desk. They were knowledgeable and welcoming. Xrays are usually a challenge for me since my wisdom teeth are pretty far back. Nurse Dawn and Dr. Kelley had me out in about 20 minutes with a referral to a surgeon to get my wisdom teeth removed and schedule a cleaning before getting up. Highly recommend 😃

Keeping up with daily brushing, flossing practices, and regular dental visits are essential for obtaining the best possible treatment outcomes for your periodontal condition.
