LS: Have the ingredients in Periodyne been proven to
be safe?
KV:
The patented cetylated natural oils in Periodyne come
from the U.S.-grown food supply. There is no known toxicity or
side effects. To test safety, University of Minnesota researchers
fed animals over 3,000 times the daily dose of these cetylated
oils and absolutely no pathology or side effects occurred.
Periodyne is a very safe product.
LS: How would Periodyne impact a dental clinic’s bottom line?
KV: Hygienists on average see eight patients a day and at least
half of them experience gingival sensitivity during hygiene
appointments. If Periodyne was dispensed to only two patients
a day, then on a yearly basis this would earn a clinic approximately $70,000 in additional net income. At the same time, the
cost to patients is affordable for most at approximately $40
per month.
FIRST VISIT - BEFORE PERIODYNE TREATMENT
We believe an additional benefit of patients being more comfortable during scaling is that they would be more likely to
schedule regular hygiene appointments and this, of course,
means even more revenue.
Very importantly, Periodyne is applied by patients at home and
therefore will not take up valuable chair time.
LS: To conclude our discussion, do you have any final
thoughts for our readers and how they can find more
information about Periodyne?
KV: We are very excited about Periodyne – our clinic feedback
is that it quickly and very consistently benefits those patients in
which scaling is just not enough. At the same time it reduces
work place stress for hygienists, as patients are more comfort-

able. Being science-based, natural and very safe, Periodyne truly
is an obvious choice.
