In our constant quest for groundbreaking knowledge in treating dental disease, we have discovered and incorporated into our practice, an innovative method of treating periodontal disease that ties into the correlation between periodontal disease and cardiovascular disease, type-II diabetes and possibly Alzheimer's disease.
It is the PerioProtect method that is explained in greater detail when you review the video on the top of this page. Essentially, it is the use of a specially constructed mouthpiece that is classified as a medical device. The medication is placed twice daily for about 10 minutes duration. The medication filters into the periodontal pocket to promote healing, thwart infection, and, with regular use, acts as a barrier preventing biofilms from entering the bloodstream through periodontal pockets and travelling throughout the body .
It is very exciting finally, to literally break through the barrier that allows us to understand the correlation between oral health and our general well-being. We welcome your comments and thoughts about this treatment. Make an appointment to talk to us about this wonderful approach to better health.
