Perio Protect - Hygienist Information

Another good reason that patients opt for the Perio Protect Method™ is that it reduces the cost of treating their periodontal disease. When medications are delivered with the patented Perio Trays™, the medications denature the biofilm and modify the calculus, making scaling and root planing easier and less extensive. In many cases a full mouth S&RP can be reduced after patients use the Perio Trays™ to a site-specific one. When surgery cannot be avoided for a patient with severe disease, the Perio Protect Method™ helps patients maintain their post-surgical results and often avoid additional invasive treatments. These health benefits are also all financially beneficial. Patients who see a cost comparison analysis understand the value immediately.

The benefits for patients are also good for hygienists. The Perio Protect Method™ fits well into current treatment regimes without incurring additional overhead costs. It gives you an excellent tool to be used in conjunction with your current therapies, making those therapies more effective, and also offers the only non-invasive long-term treatment option.

Your special care patients benefit greatly from this non-invasive method as seen in the June 2006 Dentistry Today, Management of Periodontitis for HIV-AIDS Patients. Assisted living patients who have difficulties brushing and flossing can also now have an effective answer to their oral healthcare concerns.

Hygienists wanting to learn more about the Perio Protect Method™ are encouraged to attend a one-day continuing education seminar offered in major US cities. The seminar offers 7 continuing education credits and tuition is purposely kept affordable at $85 to make it possible for hygienists and dental assistants to attend.
