Q - How has Perio Protect® been successful in your office?
A - Perio Protect® has been tremendously successful because it works. It offers a viable alternative to surgery and the patient acceptance rate is very good, which has helped grow the practice as well. We have had numerous successes with patients from 35-80 years of age, but one case clearly stands out: A 58 year old musician came in for an evaluation. He had very heavy calculus, tobacco stains, and numerous mobile teeth with moderate to severe periodontitis. His main desire was to have “a nice smile” and improve his appearance. My main concern was saving his teeth. After two full-mouth debridements, four SRP’s and Arestin placements to reduce the acute periodontal infection, he started Perio Protect® treatment. After only three months, he has had incredible results: reduced tooth mobility, reduced inflammation and even some limited osseous regeneration.This case stands out because the results are so dramatic even though the patient still smokes. His teeth are whiter, his gum tissue is pinker, and he even has some stippling now! He looks like a different person. He is so impressed with the way his smile looks now and how much better he feels with healthy gums.

Q - Are most of your patients responding well to treatment?
A - Yes, with fantastic results. Most patients find Perio Protect® easy to implement and compliance is usually very good. Our patients who have had previous periodontal treatment report Perio Protect® to be more comfortable and cost effective than other treatment options.

Q - What does Perio Protect® allow you to do that other conventional treatments do not?
A - Perio Protect® seems to address the “root causes” of periodontal disease. The treatment gives patients realistic hope that they can get their periodontal disease under control without pain or great expense.

Q - Do you have any additional information you would like to share?
A - It is incredibly exciting to see the dramatic results we have had the past four years with this system. It is very encouraging to find this treatment option after 39 years of dental hygiene practice. Just wish I had been able to offer it YEARS ago!
