When dealing with gum diseases like gingivitis, periodontitis, gum inflammation, or bacterial infections, your dentist may craft you periodontal trays. These custom-fitted trays are designed to help reduce the bacteria on your gums and heal the issues you are dealing with. This is one of the strongest solutions to healing your gums. Here’s how to use periodontal trays!
In order to understand how to use periodontal trays, you first will need to get them. You can go to your dentist, but on average, they cost $700. You will need to take time out of your busy schedule to get the impressions done, and you may need to be a registered patient with the dentist. It can be a hassle, and an expensive one at that. The bigger the city, the more it will cost you, so if you live in New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, expect to pay on the higher end.
The good news is that you don’t need to get periodontal trays from your dentist. You can receive them all from the safety and comfort of your home with SportingSmiles. These are the exact same premium ones you’d get at your dentist, but for hundreds of dollars less. SportingSmiles has been crafting retainers, night guards, sports mouth guards, and whitening trays for over one million people since 2009, and now has periodontal trays! How to use periodontal trays starts by ordering a set from SportingSmiles.
When you order from SportingSmiles, you’ll be sent the patented impression kit to take impressions of your teeth before sending them back to SportingSmiles. With your impressions, SportingSmiles will craft custom periodontal trays for you to use. Here’s how to use periodontal trays once you receive them.
SportingSmiles now crafts a custom periodontal tray for treatments designed to help fight gum disease when paired with prescribed gel medication. These periodontal trays will be custom-fit to help hold medication in place for an extended time to help improve bacterial reduction, healing of gum tissue, and pocket depth reduction. These custom periodontal trays are reusable and long-lasting. A periodontal tray, when paired with prescription gels, will be more effective than brushing, flossing, and rinsing. SportingSmiles does not prescribe or provide the medicated gel. You’ll need to get your dentist or doctor to write the prescription. A Periodontal Tray can be used to treat gingivitis, periodontitis, gum inflammation, bacterial infections, and bad breath. An impression kit is included that will come with 6 sets of putty and 5 trays for you to get your best impression!

The first step on how to use periodontal trays is to brush your teeth and floss. This will remove any food particles that are on your gums or in between your teeth. You want your gums and teeth as clean as possible for the treatment.
With the periodontal trays, next you’ll want to load them with the medication gel. You only need a thin line of the gel along the gumline. Don’t overfill the trays. It’s important to note that SportingSmiles does not prescribe the medication or the periodontal gels. You will need to get a doctor or a dentist to prescribe the gel, but once you get it filled, you can use SportingSmiles periodontal trays.
Once you have the periodontal gel inside the trays, gently seat the trays over your teeth and press lightly to ensure a snug fit. Wipe away any excess gel that comes out of the trays. You’ll want to wear the periodontal trays for 10-15 minutes once or twice a day, or if your dentist or doctor has specific instructions, follow those for your treatment schedule.
After the time is up, remove the periodontal trays and rinse your mouth with water. Clean the periodontal trays with water and wash away any extra gel to avoid making the trays dirty. It’s fine to just let them air dry afterward. That’s how to use periodontal trays!
If you need a set of your own and want to skip the huge cost of the dentist, SportingSmiles is here to help. You can order a set of periodontal trays and have them delivered straight to your home without the need to visit the dentist. Keeping your gums healthy goes a long way with oral care!
