1. Bacteria thrive deep below the gum line in the periodontal pocket.
2. Brushing, rinsing and flossing cannot reach the bacteria.
3. The Perio Tray™ delivers medicine deep into perio pockets and holds it there.
🦠😝🦷
Your body’s overall health will thank you. 👏👏👏
The gums are a gateway to major organs by way of the circulatory system. And eliminating infections at the source cuts off the pathway to further harm.In fact, treating gum disease with the Perio Protect Method has been shown to reduce the presence of the most damaging pathogens by up to 90%.
By treating gum disease, you can reduce the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, respiratory disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Colorectal Cancer and pre-term births and low birth-weight babies.

REPOST from :These images are a visual explanation of why I am hellbent on educating on how the texture and consistency of your food matters!

Contact time of sugars and flours (duration, frequency) make a big difference when it comes to cavities.
Example: bread, pasta, or fruit does not tend to stick in your teeth, but *dry* that food into toast, crackers, fruit leathers or dried fruit, and we are having a different conversation.

I personally do not bring these foods into my home, knowing full well my kids will get them at parties, soccer practice, and grandmas house. But it’s what we do a majority of the time that moves the needle.
If your child is exposed to these foods frequently and it feels out of your control (ie: school) you MUST floss their teeth, especially the molars, thoroughly and nightly.
Non-negotiable. I also encourage you to share my content with your school and other parents to find a way to move off crackers, chips, fruit snacks, and pretzels every day.

A tip if your kiddo eats this stuff is to offer a crunchy carrot, apple, celery, or cuke after the exposure, and then rinse with water. Xylitol gum is also helpful for a few minutes after the exposure. But you still must floss at night! Just rinsing with water after doesn’t usually dislodge all the sticky carbs you see in these pictures.
Try it yourself as an experiment and see what I mean!
Better snack choices for teeth: meat sticks and salami, cheese, hard-boiled eggs, seaweed snacks, veggies and dips, fresh or frozen fruit, pickles, olives, nuts and seeds.
🥦🥕🍉🍓🥑🍌🍗🥩🫐
Cavities are still the top disease in our kids globally and | 100% blame our modern diets and broken food landscape (ie: Goldfish and Cheddar Bunnies have been normalized as healthy snacks).
What am I missing? Questions?

From our favorite !! All tooth decay is the result of an acid problem. So, the next logical question should be, “what causes an acid problem?”
If the helpful bacteria in your mouth are outnumbered by the harmful ones (i.e. dysbiosis, then your risk for tooth decay (and other oral disease) significantly increases.
In the case of cavities, the harmful bacteria that produce acid cause problems when:
1. you feed them what they like (sugar, simple carbohydrates) and they then produce acid as a byproduct
2. your mouth’s #1 defense is compromised (poor quality or quantity of saliva)
3. your saliva doesn’t provide the tooth with the building blocks it needs to repair itself because your diet/lifestyle/ some other issue doesn’t supply them (calcium, Vitamin D, Vitamin K2).
So what can you do?
1. Eat whole, nutritious foods.
2. Avoid frequently consuming high-risk foods/drinks (your teeth need time to recover from the acid attack).
3. Fix mouth breathing as soon as possible, if possible.
4. Remove the harmful bacteria on a regular basis (brush/floss).
5. Stay hydrated.
6. Find a functional physician and dentist to help you discover the root cause of your dysbiosis if #1-5 haven’t worked.
This list certainly isn’t exhaustive, but these tips alone will significantly reduce your risk of future cavities.
Which puts YOU back in control of your health, exactly as you should be.
