Conventional Methods Fail To Help Patients as CDC says 50% of Patients Have Gum Disease.

Results from the 2009 - 2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) confirm that more adults have periodontal disease than previously thought.  Over 64 million Americans have gum disease, or said another way:  CONVENTIONAL TREATMENTS HAVE FAILED TO CONTROL THE CAUSE OF GUM DISEASE FOR 64 MILLION PEOPLE.

It doesn't have to be that way.  The Perio Protect Method was evaluated by independent researchers (Putt MS, Proskin HM. J Clin Dent 2012;23:48-56) and found to be superior to conventional scaling and root planing (which is the present gold standard of care).  The gold standard should be the best way to treat the cause of disease, which is precisely what the Perio Protect Method does; it delivers doctor selected medication directly to the periodontal pocket and the medications have been shown (USC Dental School, Journal of Dental Research 2007) to kill 99.98% of the bacteria that cause disease.  If you treat the cause of disease you do not have the effects.  

Patients can now use a simple, safe and reliable method to deliver medications to the source of the disease.  Patient's need to know they have an option and failure to treat the cause of disease seems like an ineffective method, especially if 50% of the population still has the disease.
