Perio Protect™ Helps Dr. Ann Hubbs Shield Rogers, AR Patients’ Periodontal and Overall Health

One of the most difficult parts of fighting gum disease is trying to conquer bacterial communities as they reproduce and spread within the mouth.  Although a scaling and root planning procedure does a thorough job of reducing harmful bacteria, keeping up with the fight in day-to-day life can be difficult and often ineffective.  For Rogers, AR patients in need of a specialized healthy mouth treatment, Dr. Ann Hubbs has prescribed Perio Protect™.  The unique treatment program is designed to help Life Style Dentistry patients guard against periodontal bacterial buildup as needed, and not just when they’re in the dentist chair. Dr. Hubbs wants northwest Arkansas residents to learn more about how this specialized periodontal solution can benefit them.

Perio Protect™ works by targeting and controlling the harmful bacteria that live on and in between the gums and teeth—commonly referred to as biofilm.  When left unchecked, biofilm can quickly contribute to advanced periodontal disease, which not only impacts the health of the mouth, but other parts of the body as well, including the cardiovascular system. Perio Protect™ enables the patient to get a decided edge in controlling biofilm. Best of all, they can utilize the treatment on their own time and protect their health more effectively.  As part of the treatment program, Dr. Hubbs’ patients are fitted with two comfortable, customized teeth trays that cover the teeth and gums.  The trays are meant to be coated with a specially prescribed solution that kills harmful bacteria and keep biofilm in-check on a daily basis, not just during dental visits.  The medicated solution can be catered to the specifics of the patient’s condition; making it a highly versatile and safe method for many individuals.  Through the use of Perio Protect™, the reduction of biofilm is significant, as are the benefits to the patient’s periodontal health.

Based on the individual needs of her patients, Dr. Hubbs will often prescribe the trays in conjunction with non-surgical deep cleaning procedures.  Although Perio Protect™ can be used following scaling and root planning-- to inhibit the future growth of biofilm-- it may be prescribed prior to a procedure.  Patients with significant levels of biofilm can begin a pretreatment, which expedites the procedure and helps protect the patient from internal exposure to bacteria during the scaling and root planning.

Perio Protect™ provides the patient with optimal levels of protection, even before their visit for their procedure and well afterwards.  Lifestyle Dentistry patients love the convenience and comfort of the trays.  They love the economic advantage of avoiding the need for more costly procedures by being proactive about their teeth.  Best of all, they love the peace of mind that comes from knowing they’re doing great things for their smile and their health. Dr. Hubbs welcomes questions from those Rogers, AR individuals who want to learn how Perio Protect™ can help them.
