What Is Perio Protect?
The Perio Protect Method™ is a minimally invasive gum disease treatment created for patients with periodontal (gum) conditions. Created for at-home use, the treatment works through a custom-made, patented Perio Tray™ fabricated with a unique sealing system. The mouth tray can be placed securely on the teeth to administer a prescription hydrogen peroxide medication below the gumline. The formula treats harmful, infectious bacteria to improve periodontal wellness and help stop the progression of gum disease. Perio Protect may be used in combination with other gum disease treatments or when alternative options have not been ideal. To learn more about this gum disease therapy or connect with a dentist who offers Perio Protect in Newton, MA, please contact Newton Centre Dental as soon as possible.
Am I a Candidate for the Perio Protect Method?
Perio Protect allows for a pleasant, convenient, and self-administered way to treat periodontal concerns from the comfort of home. The ideal candidates for this treatment option may include:
- Patients diagnosed with periodontitis or gingivitis
- Individuals who have received or are undergoing gum disease treatment (pocket reduction surgery or scaling and root planing)
Gum problems can affect your oral and overall health in various ways and could lead to tooth loss and other health concerns when overlooked. Some of the more common signs and symptoms of gum disease involve:
- A gumline that bleeds when brushing or flossing
- Loose teeth
- Bad breath
- Swollen or tender gums
- Gum recession
Should you have any symptoms or signs of gum problems, please let our dental staff know so we can determine if Perio Protect is right for your needs.
How Does Perio Protect Work?
To initiate the Perio Protect process, we will take impressions of your top and bottom teeth. These impressions will be forwarded to the Perio Protect lab, where your Perio Trays will be custom-made for an ideal fit. When your trays arrive at our facility, we will schedule a follow-up appointment to have you try them on and review your personalized treatment strategy. Our staff will explain how to place the Perio Protect formula in your trays and position them in your mouth. It is crucial to use your trays as directed by our team, which might initially mean wearing them 10 – 15 minutes for 2 – 3 times a day. Follow-up appointments may be scheduled at our Newton, MA dental practice so we can monitor your treatment progress and periodontal health.

Newton Centre Dental Reviews
I just had work done for a new crown after my molar broke during the weekend. Dr. Parent and her assistant Jenny were efficient, professional, very friendly, and made the experience as stress-free as possible.
Great experience at NCD. Dr. Parent was efficient in fixing my discolored tooth and I am very happy with the results.
Dr Lee and Jessica are a great team. They were really efficient when they gave me two fillings. They did a great job. Dr. Lee was also very good about explaining the pain relief options and also encouraging me to try to get a small filling filled without the Novocaine, which I really appreciated and ended up doing easily.
I highly recommend Newton Centre Dental for great dentists, support staff, and great dental care!
I am a relatively new patient to Dr. Parent. I was a patient of Dr. Levitt’s for a very long time. Dr. Parent has been a wonderful dentist to me so far. I live on the south shore and it takes me close to an hour to get to my appointments. She is sensitive to this and has worked within her schedule to fit me in for unexpected dental issues that have come up. I am so appreciative of these efforts. Just this morning I was quite late for my 7:30am appointment (20 minutes!) and she graciously proceeded without uttering a word of my being so late. She is patient, kind and takes the time to deliver the best care she can and for that I am most grateful. She has been a wonderful addition to Newton Center Dental and I’m happy she’s my dentist 😊
