Suzanne Mericle Haley, DMD, on Perio Restore™
In addition to practicing dentistry for 27 years, I am an instructor and lecturer on various professional topics. This is a wonderful time to be a dentist. I am very passionate about dentistry and changing one smile at a time. The Perio Restore System by DenMat is easy for our patients to use, it treats periodontal disease in-between appointments, the results are amazing, and it's a practice builder in our hygiene department.
The unique interproximal reservoirs in Perio Restore's custom-made trays gently push the 1.7% Hydrogen Peroxide oral cleansing gel deep into the pocket, significantly reducing bacteria with each application.
Why is Perio Restore important to patients?
Home care is a critical extension of what we do in the chair to treat periodontal disease.Patient compliance is key, and this is the easiest non-invasive treatment I have found.
How does it fit into a treatment regimen?
The short wear time of 10-15 minutes makes it very easy and convenient for patients to implement into their daily routine, whether it's while showering, driving to work, or simply watching TV.
How else can it help patients?
Perio Restore oral cleansing gel limits calculus build-up, enables it to be removed easier, and also improves the longevity of implants and crowns by maintaining healthy tissue at the margins.
