Susquehanna Dental Arts is proud to offer the Perio-Protect Method™, an effective non-surgical treatment for gingivitis and periodontitis. The following is paraphrased from the Perio-Protect Brochure.

“According to the American Academy of Periodontology and the 2003 World Health Organization report around 80% of adults over 35 suffer from periodontal disease. This disease is a bacterial infection resulting when food, bacteria and tartar are not sufficiently cleaned from the teeth. In the beginning, the infection develops along the gumline and when left untreated, it will progress beneath the gums to damage the gums, teeth and bone. Periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss among adults.

The Perio Protect medical device delivers prescribed medication directly to the source of periodontal disease. The Perio Trays are worn as a supplement to regular brushing and flossing and the treatments are modified as healing occurs. Most patients are able to avoid gum surgery. Worn for minutes each day, the trays fit right over your teeth and allow an effective concentration of medicine to be delivered to the infection.”
