Perio Protect Device

Dr. Kathy Frazar and Dr. Thomas Hedge have incorporated the use of Perio Protect, a unique new device created to cure periodontal disease.

 

Perio Protect is a new, home care treatment program for periodontal disease using a dentist-created and FDA-cleared medical device that can deliver doctor-prescribed medications to the source of periodontal infections. These medications address the pathogens that cause gum disease.

We have had always known that placing medicine that will kill bacteria into the periodontal pocket will stop the disease and allow the pocket to heal. The problem has been that whatever you put in there washes out. The pockets have a natural flow of fluid out. Perio Protect trays solve this problem by sealing around the pockets and forcing the medications in. The best part id that the patient can use these themselves at home.

If you have unresolved periodontal disease or have been told that you need surgery, but are reluctant, Perio Protect may be right for you.

Your Houston Sedation Dentist, Dr. Kathy Frazar Understands Comfort during your Treatment
For most people who are nervous, our team’s friendly manner, comfort amenities, and gentle approach to dentistry – in which we talk patients through their procedures, treat them at their own pace, and stop when they ask us – are enough to help our patients feel relaxed. For a fearful few, however, no amenities or gentleness can ease their jittery feelings. For those patients, Dr. Frazar offers sedation dentistry, also known as sleep dentistry.

Sedation dentistry is effective and extremely safe. Dr. Frazar prescribes a sedative medication that is applied, inhaled, or ingested just before your treatment. While you won’t be unconscious, you will feel sleepy, comfortable, and pain-free while we provide the treatments you need.

We usually offer sedation dentistry to patients undergoing complex or extensive treatments, but Dr. Frazar may recommend it if you want to repair or enhance your smile despite your fear. She also offers sedation dentistry to patients who want to have several treatments done in one visit. The type of sedation you need depends on the extent of your fear and complexity of the procedure.
