Periodontal disease is an infection and is a major cause of tooth loss.
Your Guide To Keeping Plaque, Gingivitis & Periodontal Disease Under Control
Your Dental Professional has determined
that you have a form of periodontal
disease and that you need to take a more
disciplined approach in caring for your
teeth and gums. In healthy gums, tissue
and bone structure keep teeth firmly in place. In diseased gums,
a bacterial infection can lead to swelling or bleeding and can
ultimately destroy the gums and bone that support the teeth.
Plaque Is Unavoidable
Dental plaque is a thin, sticky film that occurs naturally on the
tooth surface. Proper brushing, flossing and rinsing can remove
or disrupt the normal daily accumulation of plaque. However,
if left undisturbed, dental plaque can become pathogenic and
may lead to dental caries, gingivitis and periodontal disease.
Gingivitis Is Reversible
If the plaque remains undisturbed, it becomes increasingly
difficult to remove. If left untreated, this can lead to an infection
in your gums called gingivitis. This early stage of periodontal
disease is usually characterized by inflammed or bleeding gums.
Gingivitis may require “co-therapy”, involving treatment by
your Dental Professional and a disciplined approach to your
at-home oral care.
Periodontal Disease Is Controllable
Advanced stage periodontal disease occurs when a bacterial
infection worsens and destroys the gums and bone that support
the teeth. “Pockets” can form between the teeth and gum,
trapping bacteria. If left untreated, the pockets may deepen,
weakening tooth support and increasing the potential for tooth
loss. Advanced stage periodontal disease requires co-therapy
to help control the infection.
Compliance™ 28 Day Oral Co-Therapy KitThe alcohol-free Compliance Oral Co-Therapy Kit is designed
to make the essential oral habits of brushing, rinsing and flossing
a pleasant daily routine for you. The products in the kit will
augment your current oral hygiene habits during the length of
your treatment as recommended by your Dental Professional.
1. Brush
The Compliance kit contains ControlRx™ 1.1% Sodium Fluoride
Toothpaste and a soft-bristle toothbrush. The toothbrush should
be used exclusively throughout the 28 Day treatment period
and then discarded.
ControlRx toothpaste provides a prescription level of fluoride
in a gentle, yet effective formulation. Its low abrasive formula
is especially beneficial for sensitive or inflamed gums and
exposed root surfaces.
2. Rinse
The Compliance oral co-therapy kit also contains two PerioMed™
0.63% Stannous Fluoride Concentrate Co-Therapy Rinse Kits.
Each rinse kit includes PerioMed rinse concentrate, a proven
bacteria fighting medicine, and 14 PerioMix™ Mixing Solution
packets. This daily rinse mixture combats bacteria that can
cause gingival inflammation.
3. Floss
Proper flossing is your first line of defense against plaque
accumulation between teeth and below the gum line. The
Floss N Toss™ Disposable Flossers that are included in the kit
are convenient, quick and easy to use. They can be bent at
angles for ease of use in reaching back teeth and also have
a pick at the opposing end for added convenience.
