Arestin: Antibiotic Treatment for Gum Disease

Make an Appointment

Combat persistent gum disease with targeted treatment at Mai Dentistry. We utilize Arestin, a powerful antibiotic, to directly address harmful bacteria below the gumline, promoting healing and restoring your oral health. Schedule your gum health evaluation today at one of our convenient locations.

What is Arestin?

Arestin is an FDA-approved antibiotic in powder form, containing minocycline hydrochloride microspheres. It is not a pill but is placed directly into infected periodontal pockets. This targeted approach allows the medication to fight infection right at the source for several weeks, supporting your body’s healing process effectively.

 

The Arestin Treatment Process

Following a deep cleaning procedure like scaling and root planing, your dentist will painlessly apply Arestin into the gum pockets. The powder adheres to the area, releasing the antibiotic over time to eliminate bacteria. Contact our team to learn more about our professional dental care options for gum disease.

If you have been diagnosed with chronic periodontitis, Arestin may be a crucial part of your treatment plan. Our dental experts at Mai Dentistry will conduct a thorough examination to determine if this antibiotic therapy is your best option.
