What is Arestin?

Arestin is a powerful antibiotic treatment that targets the bacteria causing gum disease. It is a locally applied antibiotic that comes in the form of microspheres, which are placed directly into the infected gum pockets after a scaling and root planing procedure. These microspheres release the antibiotic over time, allowing for sustained treatment that continues to fight infection for up to 21 days.

Benefits of Arestin

  • Targeted Treatment: Directly targets the infection site for maximum effectiveness.
  • Sustained Release: Continues to combat harmful bacteria long after application.
  • Non-Invasive: No need for surgery; Arestin is applied during routine periodontal therapy.
  • Improved Outcomes: Enhances the effectiveness of scaling and root planing, leading to better long-term oral health.

Is Arestin Right for You?

If you’ve been diagnosed with gum disease, Arestin could be a critical part of your treatment plan. It’s particularly effective for patients with moderate to severe periodontitis, as it helps to reduce pocket depths and prevent further progression of the disease.

The Arestin Application Process

After your scaling and root planing procedure, our dental team will carefully apply Arestin directly into the gum pockets around your affected teeth. The treatment is painless and requires no additional appointments. Over the following weeks, the antibiotic will continue to fight the bacteria causing your gum disease, helping to restore your gum health.
