Targeted Treatment for Gum Infection
What is Arestin®?
Dentist Oak Lawn Dallas
Arestin® (minocycline hydrochloride) is a powerful antibiotic treatment used to target and eliminate the bacteria that cause gum infections. It’s applied directly to the infected areas, or “pockets,” in your gums after a scaling and root planing procedure. This treatment is particularly effective because it is placed in areas that are difficult to reach with regular brushing and flossing. Scaling and root planing clean below the gum line, disrupting plaque and bacteria, and Arestin® is then used to target the remaining bacteria in these deep pockets.
The medication works to reduce infection, prevent further gum damage, and support the healing process. By delivering antibiotic treatment directly to the affected areas, Arestin® can effectively manage gum disease and help improve overall gum health. As part of a comprehensive periodontal treatment plan, Arestin® is a safe, effective option to prevent the progression of gum disease and restore oral health.
