ARESTIN® is a powerful, locally applied antibiotic used to help treat gum disease and protect your smile long-term. At Sullivan Dental Center, our dentists and team use ARESTIN as part of a personalized approach to periodontal care. This treatment targets infection at the source, supporting healing and reducing the risk of further damage to your gum tissue.
Gum disease can be difficult to manage with brushing and flossing alone, especially in its more advanced stages. ARESTIN allows us to deliver medication directly into the pockets around your teeth, where bacteria tend to build. This localized treatment complements your regular cleanings and helps the gums recover more effectively.
Because ARESTIN is placed precisely where it is needed, the rest of your body is not exposed to unnecessary antibiotics. This makes it a conservative and effective solution for supporting oral health without systemic side effects.
Thoughtful Care for Long-Term Results
Our dentists and team take the time to evaluate your gum health and determine the best path forward. If ARESTIN is part of your treatment plan, it will be applied immediately after your deep cleaning. The process is quick and comfortable, and there is no need for anesthesia.
ARESTIN microspheres release antibiotics gradually over time, allowing for extended bacterial control. This ongoing action helps your gums heal and reduces the depth of periodontal pockets, which are often associated with gum disease progression.
We focus on providing care that is both preventive and restorative. ARESTIN is one of the many tools we use to help patients manage gum disease and protect their smiles for years to come.
