Fight Gum Disease Effectively
Gum disease can cause inflammation, bleeding gums, and even tooth loss if left untreated. While deep cleaning procedures like scaling and root planing help remove bacteria, Arestin Antibiotics provide an additional layer of protection to fight infection and promote healing. At Van Orman Dental, we use Arestin as part of our advanced periodontal therapy to help restore your gum health.
What is Arestin?
Arestin is a locally applied antibiotic (minocycline microspheres) placed directly into infected gum pockets after a deep cleaning procedure. It works by:
- Targeting bacteria that cause gum disease
- Slowly releasing antibiotics over time for sustained healing
- Reducing pocket depth & preventing reinfection
- Enhancing the effectiveness of scaling & root planing
Who Needs Arestin Antibiotics?
Arestin is recommended for individuals with:
- Moderate to severe gum disease (periodontitis)
- Persistent gum pockets that don’t heal after deep cleaning
- Signs of bacterial infection in the gums
- Inflamed or bleeding gums due to periodontal bacteria
