At High Country Dental, we prioritize your oral health by offering innovative solutions to treat gum disease. One such treatment is Arestin, an advanced antibiotic therapy that helps combat periodontal infections. Gum disease, if left untreated, can lead to serious oral health issues, including tooth loss. Arestin is a powerful tool we use to fight this condition effectively and restore the health of your gums.
What is Arestin?
Arestin is a locally applied antibiotic composed of minocycline, which is placed directly into the periodontal pockets, the spaces between your gums and teeth where bacteria thrive. These pockets develop as gum disease progresses, and they can become a breeding ground for harmful bacteria that attack the gums and supporting bone structures. Arestin is applied after a deep cleaning procedure, such as scaling and root planing, to ensure that the medication can directly target the infection site and reduce bacteria levels.
Benefits of Arestin
Targeted Treatment: Arestin delivers powerful antibiotics right where they are needed most—deep in the gum pockets. This localized approach allows for more effective treatment compared to oral antibiotics.
Sustained Release: Arestin releases the antibiotic slowly over time, providing ongoing treatment for up to 21 days. This sustained release helps to fight bacteria long after your dental visit, giving your gums the best chance to heal.
Non-Surgical Solution: For many patients, Arestin provides an effective, non-invasive alternative to gum surgery. When used in conjunction with scaling and root planing, Arestin can significantly improve the health of your gums.
