In taking a holistic dental approach in West Kelowna, we strive to provide treatments that are as minimally invasive and as highly effective as possible for long-term results.

That’s why at Health & Beauty Dentistry, we treat conditions like gingivitis and periodontal gum disease in West Kelowna with noninvasive Perio Protect Trays™ . Perio Trays™ are designed with a customized sealing system that can apply medication deep into your periodontal pockets, where your toothbrush, mouth wash and dental floss can’t reach.

The length of time that you will need to wear your Perio Tray™ depends on the severity of your periodontal gum disease. On average, however, you can anticipate needing to wear your Perio Tray™ for 10–15 minutes.

The frequency of these sessions will be outlined in your personalized treatment plan by your West Kelowna dentist!

Can you cure periodontal gum disease with a Perio Protect tray™?

The Perio Tray™’ takes treatment from the dentist’s chair to the comfort of your own home. This is what truly distinguishes it as a holistic dental treatment vs traditional dental treatment for periodontal gum disease in West Kelowna. 

Perio Tray™ treatment can be very simple to administer. For at-home treatments, we show our periodontal gum disease patients in West Kelowna how to apply medication into the tray and insert it into their mouth for optimal application.

Plus, the Perio Tray™’ method is also currently the only periodontal medicine application tool that has been cleared by the Food and Drug Administration!

To further add to the benefits of the Perio Tray™, they are designed to be a more comfortable, more effective option to deliver medication deep below the gums without the need for surgical intervention

Do you need antibiotics while using the perio tray™?

Periodontal dental gum disease in West Kelowna with Perio Trays™ can also help prevent the need for systemic antibiotics.

We fully believe in the use of antibiotics and will absolutely prescribe them when required. At the same time, we are very mindful of the over-use of antibiotics in our holistic dental approach. In excess, antibiotic consumption can lead to severe health consequences from gastrointestinal issues, to brain fog and much more. In some cases, it can lead to food intolerances.

Are perio trays™ non invasive?

Perio Trays™ can facilitate a more thorough treatment of the bad bacteria under your gums in a non-invasive way.

To prevent the medication from trickling into your mouth, there is a special sealing built into Perio Trays™ located close to the gums. These seals exert pressure that forces the medication into pockets under the gum line, preventing spill-over.
