Fight gum disease at home in 15 minutes a day — and get whiter teeth while you do it
Perio Protect is a non-invasive way to treat gum disease between dental visits. It pairs custom-fitted Perio Trays® — the only customized periodontal medicament carrier with FDA clearance — with a prescription hydrogen peroxide–based gel. The tray’s patented seal pushes the gel below the gum line, where it fights the bacteria that cause gingivitis and periodontitis — the places your toothbrush and floss simply can’t reach.
Our hygiene team at Redwater Dental Clinic now offers Perio Protect as part of gum disease care, and the results we’re seeing in our own patients have been genuinely impressive — healthier gums, less bleeding at hygiene visits, and, as a welcome bonus, noticeably whiter teeth.
Quick answer: The complete Perio Protect program at Redwater Dental Clinic is $850 — one price that includes your assessment, custom Perio Trays, two tubes of prescription gel, and a follow-up visit with your hygienist. No hidden extras.
Refill gel for ongoing maintenance is available at the practice, and your trays last for years with normal care. Compare that to the long-term cost of letting gum disease progress — deep cleanings, gum surgery, or eventually replacing lost teeth — and the math is easy.
Perio Protect is worth discussing with your hygienist if you have:
Perio Protect doesn’t replace professional care — it supercharges it. You’ll still see your hygienist for regular cleanings (and deep cleaning where needed); the trays keep working on the bacteria at home between visits. Your hygienist will tell you honestly whether it’s a fit for your gums.

Yes. The gel is hydrogen peroxide based — the same active ingredient as professional whitening — so most patients notice their teeth gradually brightening over the course of treatment. You’re treating your gums; the whiter smile comes free.
Many patients notice less bleeding and fresher breath within the first few weeks of daily wear. Gum measurements are re-checked at your follow-up visit with your hygienist — that’s where we track the real progress, pocket by pocket. Results vary from person to person, which is exactly why the follow-up is built into the price.
No. The trays are custom-made from impressions of your own teeth, similar to a thin whitening tray. Most people wear them while showering or watching TV and barely notice them.
No — the two work together. Your hygienist removes the hardened tartar that trays can’t touch; the trays fight the bacteria your brush can’t reach between visits. Patients on our Membership Plan already have their cleanings covered, which pairs nicely with Perio Protect.
