ARESTIN is an antibiotic that helps fight periodontal disease by killing bacteria that cause infection. It is a powder that is mixed with water and applied to your gums after we clean your teeth. ARESTIN not only kills bacteria but also prevents them from attaching to your teeth in the first place. It also works to reduce bleeding of the gums, plaque buildup and tooth decay.
The benefits of ARESTIN are many:
- It is effective at killing bacteria that cause periodontal disease
- Prevents bacteria from attaching to your teeth
- Easy to use — our team will mix it with water and apply it to your gums after cleaning your teeth

After you receive this treatment, we recommend you:
