Embracing Perio Therapy for Total Health

Reducing a chronic infectious burden, like periodontal disease, on the immune system has always been important, but the pandemic has driven this point home. In one recent study, patients with COVID-19 and periodontitis were 9 times more likely to die, 3 times more likely to be admitted to the ICU, and 4 times more likely to need a ventilator than patients with COVID and without periodontitis. Gum health matters and periodontal therapy deserves a central focus in our practices.
Chronic gingival infections do not respond particularly well to antibiotics. We’ve tried them for decades and we have very high rates of disease. We’ve also entered a post-antibiotic age according to the CDC. You can treat your patients more effectively with long-term success by incorporating prescription tray delivery of hydrogen peroxide gel deep into periodontal pockets. Research shows that this delivery combined with SRP leads to more significant pocket depth and bleeding reductions than SRP alone. In this 2-hour live webinar, you will learn the science behind the delivery, its practical implementation, case presentation ideas, and everyday business calculations.
