Arestin

Periodontal disease is a severe infection that develops beneath your gum line, posing a threat to your oral health.

What is Arestin?

ARESTIN® (minocycline hydrochloride) is an antibiotic designed to combat the bacteria responsible for periodontal infection.

How Does Arestin Work?

1. Arestin is strategically placed directly into the infected areas or "pockets" within your gums.
2. It is administered immediately following scaling and root planing, a dental procedure aimed at disrupting stubborn plaque and bacteria residing below the gum line, beyond the reach of regular brushing and flossing.
3. Arestin swiftly targets the source of infection, effectively eliminating bacteria and reducing inflammation.
4.Its action extends beyond the dental office, providing ongoing protection against bacteria for up to 30 days.
5.Studies have shown that Arestin yields significantly improved results compared to scaling and root planing alone, maintaining its efficacy for up to 90 days.
