Effective homecare is one of the four pillars of successful gum treatment. These are the periodontal treatment aids and products we recommend to our patients, all available for purchase in our office.
Oxyfresh
Oxyfresh is an effective over-the-counter treatment for periodontal disease and other oral bacterial infections. It is dispensed as a toothpaste, rinse, and gel. Patients who follow a specific Oxyfresh regimen experience measurable reductions in inflammation, plaque, and bleeding gums. It is also an effective treatment against the bacteria that produce bad breath.
Oxyfresh toothpaste and rinse instructions: use Oxyfresh toothpaste and rinse as directed, along with a Waterpik for enhanced cleaning between the teeth and below the gumline.
Sonicare
The Sonicare electric toothbrush is a valuable aid in reducing gum disease, removing significantly more plaque than a manual toothbrush. It has been clinically proven to reduce gingivitis. The FlexCare model includes a UV brush head sanitizer, which helps kill up to 99% of bacteria and viruses on the brush head.
