Brooklyn NY Arestin Therapy Dentists

After gum treatment, a dentist may use Arestin therapy to aid in the treating of periodontal disease, where scaling and root planning (SRP) alone may not be as effective. Advanced Dentistry & Implantology has been using Arestin for their periodontic patients after SRP procedures.

Arestin is an antibiotic in a powder form which is placed inside infected periodontal pockets after the SRP procedure. Minocycline is the active ingredient in Arestin.  Arestin reduces the size of the periodontal pockets and helps heal bleeding gums that occur when gums are probed.

After gum disease treatment, make sure to keep follow-up appointments since this disease can recur and your gums need to be regularly checked.
