PerioProtectIn Carmel Valley
PerioProtect™ is a minimally invasive treatment that delivers medication directly below the gumline to help fight gum disease between dental visits. It’s an easy, at-home way to support healthier gums and protect your smile long-term.
Why should I get PerioProtect™?
Gum disease can be persistent—even after in-office treatments like scaling and root planing. PerioProtect offers a convenient way to manage harmful bacteria at home with custom-fit trays that deliver antimicrobial medication deep under the gums. Used daily, it helps reduce inflammation, bleeding, and infection while promoting healing and fresher breath. It’s a simple step that can make a big difference in your oral and overall health.
