Arestin


arestin - Newark Family Dental

Periodontal disease is a serious infection under your gumline.

ARESTIN® (minocycline hydrochloride) is an antibiotic that kills the bacteria that causes the infection.

How is Arestin Placed or Applied?

  • It’s placed directly in the infected areas—or “pockets”—in your gums.
  • It’s applied right after scaling and root planing, the dental procedure that disrupts stubborn plaque and bacteria below your gum line—where brushing and flossing can’t reach.

ARESTIN® starts working quickly, right at the source of infection, and keeps fighting bacteria long after you leave the dental office. 1,2

ARESTIN® fights infection and inflammation for 30 days,2 and provides significantly better results than scaling and root planing alone for up to 90 days.3

V.A., Milpitas

You are all terrific! I will always remember how nice and caring all of you have been to me."
A.S., Fremont

I cannot speak highly enough of Newark Family Dental. Everyone from reception where Debbie took such good care of me to Jennifer who got me comfortable in the dental room to Dr. Kohli were simply wonderful. All in all I cannot find anything more to say except "Thank you".
