Gum Disease Linked to Many Diseases – Local Dentist Now Offers New Minimally Invasive Treatment
St Louis, MO -- Bleeding gums may indicate more than a dental health problem: current research links
gum disease to heart attacks, strokes, pre-term birth, type II diabetes, respiratory disease, and systemic
inflammations.
The links between gum disease and potential health problems is highlighted by the fact that more than
half of adults in the US have gum disease. In the early stages symptoms include bad breath and red,
puffy, or bleeding gums. The more advanced stages of infection lead to tooth and bone loss. In fact,
gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss.
Treating infections and inflammation in the gum tissue is difficult because the infectious bacteria are
hidden and protected beneath the gum line in pockets between teeth and gums that are hard to reach
with a tooth brush, rinse, or floss. Historically, getting medication deep enough to the source of the
infection was nearly impossible without professional help.
Now, dentists can offer their patients the Perio Tray from Perio Protect®, a comfortable tray used at
home between office visits to deliver medication deep into infected pockets. The medication can then
fight the infection. The goal is to improve patient homecare so that repetitive, invasive procedures can
be reduced. Patients appreciate both the convenience and the stress-free, hassle-free delivery method.
[YOUR NAME] in [YOUR CITY] is pleased to offer Perio Trays to current patients as well as new
patients who have delayed treatment out of fear or anxiety. The trays are comfortable and so easy to
use.
With this popular option in improved homecare, Dr [YOUR LAST NAME]’s patients, like tens of
thousands across the U.S. and Canada, can protect their smiles, and may even protect their general
health too.
