Q: How effective is ARESTIN® in treating gum disease?
A: ARESTIN® is a powder like antibiotic that we used to place underneath the gum tissue. For many years our office used almost every injectable antibiotic product that seemed reputable and available, but we had to repeat their use every two or three months. We don’t need to do that anymore because of the laser protocol. The laser takes care of the infection and regenerates the bone.
