Arestin Antibiotic Therapy

ARESTIN^® (minocycline hydrochloride) is an antibiotic, approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that kills the bacteria that cause the infection:

1. It’s placed directly in the infected areas—or “pockets”—in your gums, killing the bacteria. Placement of Arestin is completely PAINLESS;

2. It’s applied by a trained dental professional right after scaling and root planing (SRP), the dental procedure that disrupts stubborn plaque and bacteria below your gum line—where brushing and flossing can’t reach.

Bacteria are the cause of your gum disease and ARESTIN^® kills the bacteria that are at the root of the problem, which an SRP alone may not reach. Because Arestin works right at the source of infection, it works immediately and keeps fighting bacteria long after you leave the dental office.

ARESTIN^® fights infection and inflammation for 30 days and provides significantly better results than SRP alone for up to 90 days.

ARESTIN^® with SRP is nearly 3x more likely to result in successful treatment than SRP itself.
