Save Your Teeth:
The Gum Rescue Intervention
Next Appt Available: CALL NOW
Why Most Gum Treatments Fail
In a typical dental office, periodontal treatment is delegated to a hygienist who is often restricted by 60-minute insurance-based time slots. They do their best to “clean” the teeth, but they are often fighting a losing battle against a biological community of bacteria (biofilm) that regenerates every few hours.
At DayOne Urgent Dental, we treat gum disease as a surgical emergency. Dr. Bergquist personally performs the Scaling and Root Planing (SRP) intervention. He brings 25+ years of clinical expertise to the mechanical debridement of your roots. This isn’t a “routine cleaning”—it is a surgical debridement of the foundation of your smile.
We only perform this intervention for patients who are truly ready to fix their gum disease for good. This is a commitment to saving your natural teeth.
Signs of a Foundation in Crisis
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you aren’t just “overdue for a cleaning”—you are in an active inflammatory crisis that is dissolving the bone around your teeth:
- ▶ Loose or Shifting Teeth: Your teeth feel like they move when you bite.
- ▶ Persistent Bleeding: Pink on your toothbrush or blood when you floss.
- ▶ Receding Gums: “Long” teeth that are sensitive to cold and air.
- ▶ Chronic Bad Breath: A metal-like taste or odor that mouthwash won’t fix.

Case Study: Reversing Bone Loss
The Scenario: A patient in Winter Park was told they needed to get ANOTHER deep cleaning. They had undergone multiple “deep cleanings” but the pockets never closed. They were tired of the pain and the cost.
The DayOne Outcome:
Dr. Bergquist personally performed the SRP intervention, spending the necessary time to mechanically debride the roots under surgical magnification. We immediately placed the patient on the Perio Protect System. By delivering 1.7% Hydrogen Peroxide deep into the pockets every day at home, the patient killed the bacteria that their toothbrush couldn’t reach. Within 4 months, bleeding stopped, and 5mm pockets had closed to a healthy 3mm.
The Science of the “Seal”
Why is Perio Protect a requirement in our intervention? As a Mechanical Engineer, Dr. Bergquist understands fluid dynamics. A gum pocket is a biological “pressure vessel.” To get medicine deep enough to kill anaerobic pathogens at the bottom of a 5mm or 6mm pocket, you need a perfect mechanical seal.
We utilize the official Perio Protect Lab to fabricate custom-engineered devices for your mouth. These aren’t generic trays. They are designed with a patented seal that forces medical-grade oxygen (1.7% Hydrogen Peroxide) deep into the sulcus.
- 99.9% Kill Rate: Peroxide instantly destroys the cell walls of anaerobic bacteria.
- Daily Protection: While Arestin dissolves in 7 days, Perio Protect works every single day for as long as you use it.
- Whole-Mouth Rescue: One device treats every infected area simultaneously, preventing “re-seeding” of bacteria from one tooth to another.
We don’t just “clean” your teeth. We provide the tools for a long-term biological cure.

Gum Intervention FAQ
Why does the dentist do the deep cleaning?
Periodontal disease is a surgical problem. By having Dr. Bergquist perform the SRP, you get the benefit of his 25+ years of surgical experience, ensuring that the root surfaces are perfectly debrided for the best chance of healing.
Why is Perio Protect required?
Because gum disease is a chronic infection. Even after we clean the teeth, bacteria return in hours. Perio Protect is your daily insurance policy that keeps those bacteria from ever settling back into the pockets.
Can you print the trays in-house?
No. To maintain the medical-grade seal required for the patent-protected treatment, these devices must be fabricated by the specialized Perio Protect Lab. We handle the 3D scanning and delivery for you.

Targeted Clinical Intervention
Moderate Periodontitis
The “Silent” Crisis & Systemic Rescue Protocol
1. Clinical Overview: The “Silent” Crisis
Periodontitis is clinically described as a “silent” disease because it rarely causes acute pain until it has reached its terminal, tooth-losing stages. However, “silent” does not equate to “harmless.” Moderate periodontitis (categorized clinically as Stage II or Stage III) represents a highly critical biological tipping point where your body’s localized immune system is actively losing the battle against gram-negative, pathogenic bacteria.
At this precise stage, the delicate periodontal ligament attachment between your teeth and gums has begun to irreversibly deteriorate, creating periodontal “pockets” deeper than 4mm. These sulcular pockets are essentially microscopic biological “bunkers” where toxic anaerobic bacteria thrive and multiply, completely shielded from your toothbrush, dental floss, and even clinical-strength mouthwashes.
Prevalence: According to the CDC, approximately 47.2% of adults aged 30 and older suffer from some form of periodontal disease. This epidemiological crisis increases to over 70% for the demographic aged 65 and older.
Systemic Impact: Peer-reviewed cardiovascular research demonstrates that patients with untreated periodontitis carry a 2-3 times higher risk of suffering a heart attack, stroke, or other severe cerebrovascular events due to systemic inflammatory cytokines.
The Diabetes Link: Periodontal disease is heavily documented as the “sixth complication of diabetes.” The chronic, low-grade infection creates systemic insulin resistance, making it significantly harder for diabetic patients to regulate their glycemic index.
2. The Procedure Protocol
An “All Guns Blazing” Approach. Most conventional dental offices utilize a passive “wait and see” approach or delegate critical gum therapy entirely to a hygienist. At DayOne Dental, we operate under a completely different paradigm. We do not employ a hygienist; the doctor performs every aspect of this surgical intervention personally. When a patient presents with unresolved moderate periodontitis, we initiate a two-pronged “Special Forces” rescue mission.
Mechanical Debridement (SRP)
The first step is profound Scaling and Root Planing (SRP). This is not a routine “prophy” or a basic cleaning. Under profound local anesthesia, the doctor meticulously debrides the subgingival root surfaces of the teeth. This aggressive therapy removes the calcified tartar (calculus) and the toxic bacterial biofilm that has biologically “cemented” itself into the porous root structure. By performing this personally, we ensure the exacting surgical precision required to glass-smooth the root surfaces is achieved, leaving zero microscopic refuge for bacteria.
Chemical Eradication (Perio Protect®)
Mechanical cleaning alone is often biologically insufficient because virulent bacteria can repopulate a periodontal pocket within days. Following the SRP, we implement the strictly patented Perio Protect protocol. This involves custom-fabricated prescription medical devices (Perio Trays) that utilize a highly engineered internal seal. These trays hydrostatically deliver a 1.7% hydrogen peroxide gel deep into the infected sulcus. The rapid oxygenation is lethally toxic to anaerobic bacteria, effectively chemically debriding the wound site to promote rapid soft-tissue healing.
3. Candidacy & Diagnostics: Who Needs This?
This intense protocol is not designed for the patient with minor surface gingivitis or early, highly manageable periodontitis. It is a highly specific, aggressive “rescue” intervention for patients who have “fallen through the cracks” of traditional, passive dental care. (Note: If diagnostics reveal Severe, terminal Periodontitis, you will be immediately referred to a specialized Periodontist as strictly required by the standard of care).
Those who have endured years of regular “cleanings” but still chronically experience bleeding gums, stubborn 4-6mm pocket depths, or persistent, untreatable bad breath (halitosis).
Patients suffering from underlying systemic health issues (Type II diabetes, heart disease, or upcoming orthopedic joint replacements) who biologically cannot afford to harbor a chronic, active bacterial infection in their bloodstream.
Patients who have avoided dental care for years out of fear, and are currently facing a “moderate” clinical crisis that, if ignored for another 12 months, will inevitably result in catastrophic bone loss and tooth extraction.
We utilize ultra-low-dose digital radiography and meticulous 6-point periodontal probing to map your gingival architecture. If we diagnose multiple sites of 5mm+ pathological pockets combined with “Bleeding on Probing” (BOP), you are officially a candidate for this rescue protocol.
4. Recovery & The Hand-Off
The ultimate goal of DayOne Dental’s aggressive protocol is to violently reset your biological clock. We act as the “ER” for your periodontal health. Once we have performed the heavy lifting—the surgical SRP and the initial Perio Protect chemical stabilization—the rampant infection is typically halted and brought under systemic control.
Once the inflammatory “fire” is extinguished and the sulcular pockets have definitively begun to shrink and tighten (as rigorously verified during a secondary post-op exam), we transition your care. Because our clinical model is strictly focused on high-level, complex intervention rather than routine prophylaxis, we strategically refer you to a trusted general practice or a periodontist for your mandatory 3-to-4-month “Perio Maintenance” recall appointments.
Patients who adhere to our protocol and continue their daily Perio Tray therapy at home witness a profound reduction in spontaneous bleeding and pocket depths. Clinical trial statistics demonstrate that 100% of patients who augmented their SRP with tray therapy achieved greater pocket depth reduction compared to SRP monotherapy. By the time you reach your maintenance office, you are no longer a high-risk “bleeding patient”—you are a biologically “stable patient.”
5. Tech Specs: The Science of the Seal
The clinical success of the Perio Protect system relies entirely on the precise technical specifications of the tray itself. Attempting to use a standard, over-the-counter “bleaching tray” or orthodontic aligner will categorically fail to deliver the medication subgingivally.
The prescription trays are fabricated strictly from a high-resolution digital or physical impression of your dentition. They feature a proprietary, patented peripheral seal customized to perfectly match the scalloped anatomy of your specific gingival margin.
When seated, this customized gasket-like seal creates an enclosed, pressurized environment that forces the hydrogen peroxide medication deep into the sulcus (the microscopic space between the tooth root and the inflamed gum tissue), overcoming the outward flow of crevicular fluid.
We primarily deploy a formulated 1.7% Hydrogen Peroxide gel. This exact concentration is meticulously balanced: it is biologically gentle enough for safe, daily application, yet highly destructive to biofilm matrices, stimulating the body’s natural healing cascade through massive localized oxygenation.
6. DayOne Dental’s Advantages
Why Our Intervention Excels over the “Factory” Model
The traditional dental model is too often a high-volume “factory” where the doctor spends a fleeting 5 minutes with you, and a rotating hygienist performs the actual therapy. We have violently flipped that outdated model on its head for better clinical results.
You receive 100% of the attending dentist’s focus. The doctor personally performs the complex scaling and root planing. There is absolutely no “handing off” the most critical, biologically sensitive part of your treatment to ancillary staff.
We don’t do “routine.” We do “results.” If you have been endlessly told you need continuous “deep cleanings” for years with zero measurable improvement, we provide the aggressive, calculated intervention actually required to shift the clinical outcome.
We diagnose and treat your mouth as the primary gateway to your entire vascular system. Our paramount goal is to aggressively lower your systemic inflammatory load and bacterial burden, not simply make your teeth appear whiter.
We aren’t attempting to trap you in an endless “cleaning cycle” for our own profit. We aggressively intervene, biologically stabilize the infection, and subsequently graduate you to a maintenance-heavy office with a fundamentally clean bill of health.
If you are exhausted from being told your gums are “just a little inflamed” while you silently continue to lose vital jawbone and compromise your systemic health, it is time for a definitive intervention.
