Gum (Periodontal) Disease Care with Perio Protect® in Boca Raton with Dr. Pohl

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is the leading cause of tooth loss in the United States.  For comfortable and effective gum (periodontal) disease treatment, Boca Raton residents turn to Dr. Mitchell Pohl.  Learn about the revolutionary Perio Protect® system for gum disease treatment.

What is Gum Disease?

Periodontal (gum) disease is the result of a bacterial infection that affects the tissues that surround a tooth, and can lead to pain, bone reduction, and tooth loss.  The earliest form of gum disease is called gingivitis, and is characterized by swollen gums and gums that bleed during brushing and flossing.  Gingivitis is much more easily treated than full-blown periodontal disease, so it’s important to visit your dentist twice a year for a thorough gum examination.

Advanced gum disease is known as periodontitis, and is much more difficult to treat than gingivitis. 

Signs of gum disease include:

• Bleeding gums
  

• Gums that are swollen, red or sensitive
  

• Loose or shifting teeth
  

• Bad breath
  

• Mouth pain
  

• Receding gum line
  

• Mouth sores
  

Advanced cases of gum disease used to require gum surgery, but now Dr. Pohl has access to the Perio Protect® system to treat even severe gum disease.

What is Perio Protect®?

Perio Protect® is an FDA approved periodontal treatment program that may eliminate the need for gum surgery in many patients with periodontal disease.  Boca Raton dentist Dr. Mitchell Pohl is proud to employ the Perio Protect® system at his practice.

With Perio Protect®, gum disease patients simply use a home care solution for just 5 minutes per day to prevent decay and curb the effects of gum disease.  The Perio Protect® system uses a special tray to immerse the teeth and gum line in antimicrobial agents prescribed by the dentist.  The patient simply applies the Perio Protect® antibiotic solution to the tray and wears the tray for as little as 5 minutes per day, decreasing the frequency and duration that they wear the tray as healing occurs.

The entire Perio Protect® system is used from the comfort of the patient’s home and often eliminates the need for gum disease.  What’s more, Perio Protect® costs less than traditional periodontal disease surgery.

Dr. Pohl believes so thoroughly in the Perio Protect® system that he recently endorsed the product on ABC Prime Time News.  Click here to watch an interesting video of Dr. Pohl’s interview.
