What is a perio aid handle and how much does it cost?
Answer:
It's useful in removing plaque from subgingival or root surfaces of teeth. (It's a tooth cleaner).
Here is an excerpt from a website I found on it:
"The PERIO-AID comprises a plastic handle into which a pair of toothpicks having round cross-sections can be inserted. The toothpicks extend at different angles so that at least one toothpick is at a convenient angle for use in cleaning the teeth subgingivally. Problems in using this device include the fact that the material and dimensions of toothpicks vary. It is sometimes difficult to locate toothpicks of the correct cross-section, strength and dimension for use with the PERIO-AID device. During use the toothpicks tend to break. In addition, it is difficult to correctly angle and move the handle for proper cleaning of the subgingival surfaces. "
Here's that website:

So, with that information, I'd recommend a waterpik instead. it would do the same thing, but much better. It's what I use alot. Here is an example of one:

If you are still set on a Perio-Aid, I found one for $4.50 here:
