What is ARESTIN®?
A Powerful Ally Against Gum Disease
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is caused by the buildup of plaque and bacteria that lead to inflammation and infection in the gum tissue. In moderate to advanced cases, deeper cleaning procedures such as scaling and root planing are often needed to remove debris below the gumline. ARESTIN enhances this treatment by applying an antibiotic directly into the periodontal pockets to kill lingering bacteria.Our dentists may recommend ARESTIN if you have:
- Persistent bleeding or swollen gums
- Moderate to deep periodontal pockets
- Early to moderate periodontitis
- Signs of infection that require targeted therapy
- Increased risk of gum disease progression
ARESTIN is a localized treatment, meaning it works right where it is needed without affecting the rest of your body.
How ARESTIN Treatment Works
The ARESTIN antibiotic is delivered in the form of a fine powder that is placed into the infected gum pockets after scaling and root planing. This powder contains microspheres that slowly release the medication over time – usually about two weeks – providing extended protection against harmful bacteria.Benefits of ARESTIN gum treatment include:
- Targeted, site-specific antibiotic therapy
- Improved results when combined with deep cleaning
- Reduced pocket depth and inflammation
- Lower risk of gum disease progression
- No needles or pain during application
