Arestin
Arestin is a prescription antibiotic used to treat periodontitis, a severe form of gum disease. At U Shine Dental, Dr. Irene Shin may recommend Arestin as part of your treatment plan to help reduce inflammation, kill bacteria, and promote gum tissue regeneration. Arestin is a powder that is placed directly into the pockets around your teeth during a deep cleaning procedure. This medication can help improve gum health and prevent tooth loss, making it an important tool in the fight against periodontitis. To learn more about Arestin and whether it's right for you, schedule a consultation at U Shine Dental today.
