What is Periodontal Disease?

A Serious Infection Beneath the Gum Line

Periodontal disease is more than just “sore gums”—it is a serious infection that occurs under your gum line. If not treated effectively, it can lead to bone loss and the eventual loss of teeth. To combat this, we utilize advanced treatments like ARESTIN® to eliminate the source of the infection.

Understanding ARESTIN® (minocycline hydrochloride)

Direct-To-Source Antibiotic Treatment

ARESTIN® is a specialized antibiotic designed to kill the specific bacteria that cause periodontal infections. Unlike oral antibiotics that travel through the entire body, ARESTIN® is placed directly in the infected areas—or “pockets”—within your gums.

  • Targeted Delivery: It is applied right after Scaling and Root Planing (SRP), the essential dental procedure that disrupts stubborn plaque and bacteria below the gum line.

  • Deep Reach: It reaches deep into the pockets where traditional brushing and flossing simply cannot reach.

Proven Effectiveness and Long-Term Results

Continuous Protection Against Bacteria

ARESTIN® starts working quickly, attacking the infection right at its source, and keeps fighting bacteria long after you leave our dental office.

  • 30-Day Infection Control: ARESTIN® fights infection and inflammation for a full 30 days.

  • 90-Day Superior Results: Clinical studies show that combining ARESTIN® with scaling and root planing provides significantly better results than scaling and root planing alone for up to 90 days.

By incorporating ARESTIN® into your periodontal care plan, our doctors ensure that your gums have the best environment possible for healing and long-term health.
