Imagine a world where gum disease is effortlessly evicted, and your smile shines brighter than ever. That’s not just a dream—it’s a reality with Arestin®, our superhero antibiotic therapy that zeroes in on gum disease with pinpoint precision. At Marshlands Family Dentistry, our dental team is versed in administering Arestin and delivering gentle, effective care to our patients in Beaufort and beyond.
Arestin is a powerful antibiotic specifically formulated to target and treat periodontal disease. It comes in the form of minuscule particles packed with minocycline, a potent antibiotic. These microspheres are placed directly into the infected pockets around your teeth, where they slowly release the antibiotic over time. Furthermore, Arestin effectively reduces bacteria and inflammation right where the problem exists.
Our Arestin process is simple yet thorough. Used in combination with dental deep cleaning, our periodontic dentists, Dr. Edward Wise and Dr. John Wise, tailor the dose to each patient based on their medical condition and response to treatment.
First, our skilled hygienists will perform a deep cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth and below the gum line. Next, we’ll meticulously apply Arestin to the affected areas. This dual-action approach not only removes harmful bacteria but also continues to combat infection long after you leave our dental office near St Helena Island.
