As hygienists you often have more face time with patients than doctors do and are able to build personal relationships with your patients. As health professionals, you are always looking for ways to benefit patients' health. To help you determine if the Perio Protect Method™ would benefit your patients, please consider attending a Perio Protect® seminar where you will receive first-hand explanations and research data on this comprehensive treatment approach to manage oral bacteria.

The Perio Protect Method incorporates mechanical and chemical therapies with patient homecare for optimal results. The method can be individualized for the different needs of your patients. In many states the method can be administered by hygienists working closely with doctors.

If you would like more information about the Perio Protect Method, including the possible use of the customized prescription trays to place solutions of the clinician's choice into periodontal pockets, please consider attending a seminar near you.

If you would like to attend a seminar independently, without a dentist, please call Perio Protect, LLC toll free 1-866-693-3400 for your special tuition rate.
