Perio Protect

Perio Protect® is a minimally invasive, dentist-supervised approach that may complement professional treatment for gum disease. Scaling and root planing, periodontal maintenance, and other procedures remain important when clinically indicated. Dr. Hussein Dhayni evaluates the severity of disease before recommending the appropriate combination of office care and home therapy.

The Perio Tray® is a prescription mouth tray customized for the individual patient. Its internal seal helps deliver prescribed medication below the gumline. Wear time and frequency are personalized, and progress is monitored during follow-up visits at Balboa Dentistry in San Diego.

Common signs of gum disease:

  • Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing
  • Swollen, red, or tender gums
  • Receding gums
  • Plaque, tartar, or calculus
  • Spaces developing between the teeth
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Loose or sensitive teeth

Contact us if you notice possible gum disease symptoms. When appropriate, Perio Tray therapy can support daily bacterial control alongside professional treatment and ongoing supervision. It is not a substitute for diagnosis or necessary periodontal procedures.
