Periodontitis is a condition in which the gum will pull away from the tooth and put a patient at risk for tooth loss. When ARESTIN is incorporated into a routine oral maintenance care and used with scaling and root planing, ARESTIN will fight the infection by going deep into the pockets of the gums. At Downtown Dental LLC, our doctors utilize ARESTIN to reduce pocket depth, so the gums have a better chance at healing.
ARESTIN is indicated as a supplement to scaling and root planing (SRP) procedures for reduction of pocket depth in patients with adult periodontitis. ARESTIN is different from an antibiotic pill because it is placed right where you need it. A pill can’t give you the level of antibiotic concentration in your gums that ARESTIN can because ARESTIN contains microspheres –tiny particles – that are smaller than grains of sand and are not visible to the eye. The microspheres are filled with the antibiotic minocycline hydrochloride. These microspheres release the antibiotic over time, killing bacteria so your gums can heal better than with scaling and root planing alone.
