Understanding the Challenge of Treating Gum Disease

Perio Protect is an effective treatment for gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, at our dental practice in Moore County. It is a chronic infection caused by harmful bacteria in the mouth. These bacteria accumulate along and beneath the gumline, forming pockets that damage surrounding tissues and create a protected space for bacteria to thrive.

Why Is Gum Disease So Difficult to Treat?

  • Hard-to-Reach Areas: The pockets formed by gum disease are difficult to clean with brushing and flossing, and even professional tools may struggle to reach these areas effectively.
  • Antibiotic Challenges: While antibiotics can target harmful bacteria, overuse can lead to resistant strains and disrupt healthy bacteria in your mouth and gut.
  • Invasive Treatments: Traditional gum disease treatments often involve invasive procedures, such as scaling and root planing, which can be uncomfortable and anxiety-inducing for many patients.
