What to Expect During and After Arestin Treatment ?

Discover the benefits of Arestin treatment for periodontal diseases. Fight bacteria and improve your oral health with this advanced periodontal solution.

Arestin treatment involves applying a specialized antibiotic powder directly into periodontal pockets—the spaces between your teeth and gums where harmful bacteria accumulate. It is commonly used alongside scaling and root planing (SRP), a deep-cleaning procedure designed to remove plaque and tartar from beneath the gum line.

 

🦷 What Happens During Arestin Treatment?

The Arestin Treatment is quick, painless, and minimally non- invasive procedure:

1. Initial Deep Cleaning
   

   Your dentist or hygienist will first perform scaling and root planing to remove plaque and bacteria.
   

    

2. Application of Arestin
   

   After the area is cleaned, Arestin treatment is placed into the periodontal pockets using a small, pre-loaded syringe.
   

    

3. No Needles or Incisions
   

   Arestin doesn’t require any cutting or sutures. The process is completely non-surgical.
   

    

4. Time-Saving Procedure
   

   Arestin treatment takes just a few minutes and can be done during your routine periodontal visit.  Perio PDX offers Arestin treatment as part of their comprehensive gum disease management services, delivering advanced periodontal care to residents throughout Portland.
