Using Perio Protect for the treatment and even prevention of gum disease
Did you know that maintaining healthy gums is one of the most important aspects of your oral health? Gum health often serves as the foundation for a healthy smile, and neglecting it can lead to numerous problems, including gum disease. At Bingham-Lester Dentistry in Gambrills, Maryland, Dr. Vickii R. Bingham-Lester offers an innovative solution to protect your gums and promote optimal oral health: Perio Protect treatment.


What is the Perio Protect treatment?
Perio Protect treatment is a cutting-edge method designed to effectively combat gum disease. It is a customized treatment system that utilizes easy-to-use trays to deliver medication directly to the source of infection—beneath the gumline. This groundbreaking treatment is non-invasive, gentle, and specifically targets harmful bacteria that contribute to gum disease, helping you maintain a healthier smile.
What happens during the Perio Protect process?
The process begins with a consultation to understand your unique needs. Dr. Bingham-Lester will evaluate your oral health and design personalized Perio Protect trays that fit comfortably over your teeth and gums. These trays are filled with a specialized gel that works to reduce bacteria and inflammation while promoting healing and gum health. The result? Fresher breath, a cleaner smile, and fewer risks of developing complex dental issues.

Why does gum disease prevention matter?
Gum disease prevention should always be a priority for everyone, as it is a common oral health condition that can lead to severe consequences. Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is caused by the buildup of plaque and tartar, which harbor harmful bacteria. If this is left untreated, this condition often causes noticeable symptoms like bleeding gums, bad breath, and eventually, tooth and bone loss.
However, the importance of gum disease prevention goes beyond oral health. Research shows that periodontal disease might also increase the risk of conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. With Perio Protect treatment, you can easily and efficiently take proactive steps to protect your oral health and overall well-being.
What are some of the advantages of using Perio Protect?
One of the biggest advantages of Perio Protect treatment is its simplicity. The trays are user-friendly and fit seamlessly into your daily routine. Patients typically wear the trays for just a few minutes each day, allowing the medication to work its magic. The convenience of this system makes it a wise choice for our patients with busy lifestyles who want to take control of their gum health. By routinely incorporating Perio Protect treatment into your oral care habits, you can enjoy long-term benefits, fewer visits for periodontal cleanings, and the peace of mind that comes with a healthier mouth.
