2. Introduction
Perio Protect provides patients with a noninvasive
alternative to treating gum disease.The Perio
Protect method involves a thorough review by a
dental professional, after which the mouth is
outfitted with a series of patented trays that
provide bacteria-fighting medicine deep beneath
the gum line.
The most commonly observed symptom in
individuals living with gum disease is blood, which
is often seen in the sink after brushing one's teeth.
In addition to bleeding, gums impacted by
periodontal disease are prone to swelling and
inflammation.
3. Gum Disease
Additional symptoms of the disease include gum
recession and the development of pockets in the
gum, tooth sensitivity, and high blood sugar.
If left untreated, these symptoms can lead to a
number of related health conditions, including
chronic headaches and blurred or otherwise
impaired vision. In some cases, gum disease may
even lead to the development of type 2 diabetes,
while individuals already living with diabetes are at
increased risk for gum disease. Individuals who
believe they may be suffering from periodontal
disease should discuss their concerns with a
dentist, hygienist, or periodontist.
