ARESTIN® Montgomery, NJ

Gum disease is a serious condition that can lead to inflammation, infection and even tooth loss if left untreated. While deep cleaning procedures like scaling and root planing are essential for removing bacteria, some cases require additional treatment to control infection. At Prime Dental Care, we offer ARESTIN® in Montgomery, New Jersey, as part of our comprehensive approach to treating periodontal disease and promoting long-term gum health.

What Is ARESTIN?

ARESTIN is an antibiotic treatment used to help fight bacteria in gum pockets affected by periodontal disease. It contains minocycline, a powerful antibiotic that is placed directly into the infected areas after scaling and root planing. Unlike oral antibiotics, which affect the entire body, ARESTIN targets bacteria at the source, making it a highly effective option for treating gum infections.

Dr. Joyce Ma uses ARESTIN to support gum healing and reduce pocket depth, helping patients regain healthier gums and prevent the progression of periodontal disease.

Why Choose ARESTIN?

ARESTIN offers several advantages for patients with gum disease, including:

• Targeted Treatment: Applied directly to infected gum pockets for maximum effectiveness.
• Extended Bacteria Control: Continues fighting bacteria for up to 21 days.
• Painless Application: The treatment is placed after a deep cleaning with no additional discomfort.
• Reduces Pocket Depth: Helps shrink gum pockets and prevent further damage.
• Improves Gum Healing: Enhances the results of scaling and root planing.

What to Expect After ARESTIN Treatment

After receiving ARESTIN, patients should follow specific aftercare guidelines to maximize results:

• Avoid brushing the treated areas for 12 hours.
• Do not floss near the treated gums for 10 days.
• Eat soft foods for a few days to allow the gums to heal properly.
• Maintain regular dental visits for ongoing gum health monitoring.
