Periodontal disease is an inflammatory disease that affects the soft and hard structures that support the teeth. In its early stage, called gingivitis, the gums become swollen and red due to inflammation, which is the body’s natural response to the presence of harmful bacteria. In the more serious form of periodontal disease called periodontitis, the gums pull away from the tooth and supporting gum tissues are destroyed. Bone can be lost, and the teeth may loosen or eventually fall out.

PerioChip is placed in between the tooth and gum, it releases chlormexdine over a 7 day period which help kill and fight off bacteria while the gum repairs and becomes tighter. With this treatment and regular cleans teeth can become more stable again.
