Category Spotlight: Perio Tray Therapy

What’s an easy, effective, at-home treatment to combat gum disease? It is so easy, in fact, that patients make it part of their at-home oral care routine, and it is so effective that the number of patient success stories is now in the tens of thousands. The answer is Perio Tray therapy.

A dentist prescribed and patient applied non-invasive method to treat gum disease, Perio Tray therapy is effective because it targets the area deep below the gums, a place that toothbrushes simply can’t reach. Medication, consisting of a low concentration of hydrogen peroxide, is delivered under the gums and around the teeth via the custom-fitted Perio Tray sealing system that effectively holds the medication in place. 

Simple, Effective Oral Care

Treatment is comfortable and convenient, and many patients wear their trays for just 15 minutes a day. Dentists report many creative ways patients have seamlessly blended the treatment into their daily routine—everything from wearing the trays while showering to making the therapy part of a daily work commute.

Perio Tray therapy can be an appealing option on both ends of the perio spectrum—for those who want to avoid surgical intervention to treat severe gum disease, or encourage healing of inflamed gingiva, as well as for those who desire to complement their daily oral care routine and prevent future periodontal disease. Either way, the 1.7% hydrogen peroxide gel is an effective antimicrobial agent that prevents pathogenic bacteria from recolonizing.

Two Favorite Side Effects

In addition to healthier gums, Perio Tray therapy offers 2 popular and beneficial side effects that patients universally love. First, the low level of hydrogen peroxide, applied gradually and gently, effectively freshens breath. Second, Perio Tray therapy promotes a gradual whitening of the teeth, and with a low dose of hydrogen peroxide, patients will not have the sensitivity normally found with higher dose hydrogen peroxide teeth whitening treatments.
