What is Gum Disease?

Good question. And we’re glad you asked. Before solving a problem, you first must identify it…

  • Chronic Bad Breath?
  • Sensitive Teeth?
  • Bleeding, tender Gums?
  • Loose, mobile Teeth?
  • Receding gums?
Gentle Touch Family Dentistry - General Dentistry
Periodontal or “Gum Disease” starts when bacteria on the teeth grow and move below the gum line creating pocketing. These pockets make the bacteria thrive and form communities called biofilm which is an active infection. When left untreated these colonies grow and spread causing a wide variety of symptoms ranging from constant bad breath even after brushing and rinsing, sensitivity, bleeding gums and more…

This disease affects more than just your mouth. Studies and research has shown a direct correlation between gum disease and many serious health conditions as the bacteria spreads throughout the body;

Gum Disease May Lead To:

  • Type 2 Diabetes
  • Cardiovascular Diseases which can lead to heart attack or other complications
  • Hardening of Arteries
  • Respiratory Diseases
  • Alzheimer’s Disease
  • Low Birth Weight Babies
  • Chronic Inflammatory Diseases

Though there is no cure for chronic Gum Disease, there is treatment to help stop the progression and protect your body, and make your visits with us easier on you!

Gentle Touch proudly offers Perio Protect therapy as a minimally-invasive, comprehensive treatment for gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis).

What is Perio Protect?  

Perio Protect is doctor-prescribed and patient-applied. When you receive your custom Perio Trays®, your dental team will show you how to place a small amount of prescription medicine in each tray. You wear it for just minutes each day. Dr. Szmigiel will also design a treatment plan specifically for you, as the duration and frequency varies for each patient.

The trays are designed with a patented seal to place and hold medication where it is most effective—at the site of infection deep below the gum line. A low concentration of hydrogen peroxide gently and thoroughly cleanses the periodontal pockets, combatting bacteria, whitening your teeth and freshening your breath.

Perio Protect is comfortable, convenient and easy to use. The Trays are non-invasive, and treatment is self-administered at home.

Plus, Perio Protect treatment has whitening properties as well!
