Oral Health During a Pandemic
Oral Health During a Pandemic
With the outbreak of the coronavirus, treatment for inflammation and the prevention of infection and disease is more important than ever. The human body can only handle so much inflammation, and the healthier a person is—the less chronic inflammation taxing the body—the easier it is to fight off other infections, including viral. This is why any infectious oral conditions, like gum disease, should be taken seriously. Brushing, flossing, and home care may seem mundane, but so is washing your hands. These “mundane” acts can help keep you healthy.
Out office prescribes Perio Protect, a homecare system to prevent and treat gum disease. Special prescription trays, called Perio Trays®, are made just for your mouth to deliver medication deep below the gums so that the medication can fight infections causing disease. The primary medication applied with the trays, Perio Gel® with 1.7% hydrogen peroxide, is highly effective at killing infectious bacteria and reducing inflammation.
Peroxide also kills coronaviruses. Using peroxide in these special prescription trays will not prevent you from contracting the virus, but the peroxide therapy should help reduce the viral load in saliva and thus reduce the risk of oral transmission in addition to addressing bacterial infections and inflammation in your gums.
Meet Dr. Duane Keller, The Founder of Perio Protect
Dr. Duane Keller is the founder of Perio Protect. He originally designed Perio Trays® for his mother and his own patients who were struggling to keep their gums healthy. The improvements in patient health were so significant from the Perio Tray® therapy that he applied to the Food and Drug Administration to be able to market Perio Trays® so that everyone could benefit. FDA clearance was granted, and a new non-invasive option to improve patient health is now available to all.
It has never been more important to keep your gums healthy. Gum health is key to keeping your teeth for a lifetime and important for a healthy immune system.
