When Is Arestin Therapy Used in Dental Treatment?

Are you struggling with gum disease? Discover how Arestin treatment at Perio PDX can help you to reduce infection and promote healing in affected gum areas.

Arestin therapy is a locally applied antibiotic that contains minocycline hydrochloride, a powerful agent that fights the bacteria responsible for gum infections. Unlike oral antibiotics that travel through the entire body, Arestin is placed directly into the gum pockets (periodontal pockets) to treat the infection at its source.

Arestin therapy is not used in every dental cleaning. It’s specifically recommended in cases where gum disease has progressed beyond mild inflammation (gingivitis) and shows signs of periodontitis, a more advanced form of gum disease.
