ARESTIN® is a locally administered antibiotic treatment for gum disease. It’s a powder composed of 100,000 tiny microspheres that release antibiotics over time. In a single visit, your dentist will add ARESTIN® to the pocket between your gum and tooth. It’s a painless procedure, and ARESTIN® with SRP can make your gum disease treatment more effective by killing bacteria left behind after SRP. Best of all, ARESTIN® keeps working long after you leave the dental chair. – See more at: http:www.arestin.com/periodontal-gum-disease/treatment.php#sthash.1NhAokuw.dpuf
