ARESTIN® (minocycline hydrochloride) is an effective antibiotic that helps kill the bacteria that causes periodontal disease. Each ARESTIN treatment provided by Dr. Andrew Hoffman is a 1 mg dose of powder that is placed directly in the infected pocket areas in your gums. It is applied immediately after scaling and root planing with our dentist is completed. ARESTIN starts working quickly right at the source of infection and fights bacteria and inflammation for 30 days and provides significantly better results than scaling and root planing alone for up to 90 days. To learn more about ARESTIN in Exton, Pennsylvania, and how it can help you with your periodontal treatments, call our office at 610-524-0115.
THE BENEFITS OF ARESTIN IN COMBINATION WITH SCALING AND ROOT PLANING INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
- Killing bacteria known to cause gum disease
- Reducing the size and number of pockets
- Reducing bleeding of the gums
- Improving the ability of your gums to attach to your teeth
ARESTIN treatments can also be used during subsequent follow-up (periodontal maintenance) appointments.
