Gum disease can create a vicious circle of cleaning your teeth, feeling better, and then having the disease occur all over again. Dr. Amit Pandya, DDS knows the frustration of gum disease and utilizes Arestin in his New Hyde Park, NY dental office. Arestin is an antibiotic placed at the source of the infection for a greater chance of clearing up gum disease for good.
Gum disease can not only lead to severe oral consequences like pain, loss of teeth, and infection, but it can also harm your overall health by increasing the risks of heart attack and stroke. It is for this reason that we offer Arestin as a way to combat bacteria. Arestin is usually placed deep into the gum pockets after a scaling and planing procedure has been performed. While scaling and planing gets a lot of the plaque and bacteria away from the tooth and out of the pocket, bacteria that reaches deep into a badly recesses gum line can be difficult to reach.
Arestin is made of microspheres that are placed into the gums and dissolve over time so that the antibiotic keeps working long after the application. Using Arestin clears up gum disease better than a scaling and planing alone.
