In our last post, we talked about the connection between bad breath and gum disease. We also talked about other symptoms of gum disease<\/b>. Today, we want to highlight one of the most effective tools in the fight against gum disease and its unpleasant symptoms\u2014an antibiotic known as Arestin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Arestin?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Arestin<\/b> is a topical antibiotic that\u2019s placed below the gumline, in the pockets that have formed between the teeth and gum as a result of gum disease<\/b>. It\u2019s often administered at the same time as a deep cleaning procedure, but not always. Since Arestin<\/b> is a topical treatment, it can be placed exactly where it\u2019s needed, giving it a big advantage over treatment with antibiotic pills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s more, Arestin<\/b> keeps working for days after it\u2019s been applied. That\u2019s because Arestin<\/b> is made up of many tiny microspheres that gradually release the powerful antibiotic instead of releasing it all at once. Over a period of days, the medicine inside will kill bacteria and promote healing, so you can enjoy good oral health and well-being again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
