What Is PerioProtect and Why Should I Consider It?
If you’re managing gum disease or just want a proactive way to keep your gums healthy, PerioProtect offers a non-invasive and highly effective solution. This advanced treatment uses custom-fitted prescription trays—called Perio Trays™—to deliver medication deep below the gumline, where toothbrushes and floss can’t reach. Think of it as giving your gums a targeted, therapeutic boost between visits. Designed for comfort and ease of use, PerioProtect can help reduce inflammation, fight bacteria, and support your overall oral health—all from the comfort of your home. At Fulbright Dental, we’re proud to offer this gentle, science-backed approach to gum care.
The Benefits of PerioProtect
Deep Cleaning Below the Gumline
Unlike surface-level treatments, Perio Trays™ hold the medicated gel below the gumline, where harmful bacteria thrive. This allows for a more effective, consistent clean that helps prevent disease progression. It's a targeted solution designed to reach the areas where gum disease starts.
Comfortable and Easy to Use
Each tray is custom-made to fit your mouth comfortably. You simply fill the trays with the prescribed gel and wear them for a few minutes a day—no pain, no downtime, no complicated routines. Most patients find the process simple to stick with, making it easy to stay consistent.
Enhances Professional Cleanings
PerioProtect works hand-in-hand with your in-office treatments. By using it regularly at home, you help maintain the results of your dental cleanings and reduce the need for more aggressive periodontal procedures later on. It’s a powerful way to support your long-term gum health between visits.
The PerioProtect Treatment Process
Personalized Consultation and Impressions
We’ll start by taking impressions of your teeth to create custom trays that fit snugly and comfortably. During this visit, Dr. Fulbright or Dr. Faist will explain the treatment, answer your questions, and ensure you feel confident using the trays at home. We’ll also discuss your gum health history and goals to create a truly personalized care plan.
Receiving Your Custom Trays
Once your trays are ready, we’ll provide detailed instructions for daily use. The trays are designed to gently deliver the medication deep beneath the gums, targeting bacteria in areas that are hard to reach with brushing and flossing alone. You’ll also get tips on storage, cleaning, and the best times to wear your trays to make them part of your routine.

At-Home Daily Use and Monitoring
You’ll use your PerioProtect trays at home, typically for just 10–15 minutes per day. We’ll monitor your progress at your regular visits and make any necessary adjustments. Many patients report fresher breath, healthier gums, and a renewed sense of confidence in their smile. If we notice any changes in your gum health, we’ll update your treatment to keep things on track.
