At the root of gum disease is infection caused by bacteria. And like many infections, gum disease can be treated with an antibiotic. Unlike antibiotics that are swallowed, Arestin® is a powder that your dental professional places directly into the infected area, or pockets, in your gums when you receive scaling and root planing (SRP).
• Gum disease creates:
– Pockets between the teeth and gums
– Bad Breath
– Bleeding
– Swelling
– Infected or Tender Gums
• Arestin is proven to help:
– Reduce depth compared with Scaling and Root planing
– Kills bacteria that cause gum disease
