How Arestin Treatment Supports Scaling and Root Planing

Arestin treatment works hand-in-hand with scaling and root planing to effectively combat gum disease. While scaling and root planing physically remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gumline, Arestin treatment delivers a targeted antibiotic (minocycline) directly into the infected periodontal pockets. This helps eliminate any remaining bacteria that may not be reached by cleaning alone, reducing inflammation and promoting faster healing. 

By combining mechanical cleaning with localized antibiotic therapy, Arestin treatment enhances the effectiveness of scaling and root planing, leading to healthier gums and a lower risk of disease progression.As part of their all-inclusive gum disease management services, Perio Pdx provides Arestin treatment to Portland residents in need of advanced periodontal care.Arestin therapy in Portland can help restore your gum health and enhance your general quality of life, regardless of whether you have minor gum inflammation or more severe periodontitis.
