Dr. Ashalatha Kancharla of Complete Care Family Dentistry Fights Periodontal Infections with ARESTIN Antibiotic Treatment in Philadelphia, PA

The word periodontitis literally means “inflammation around the tooth.” Periodontitis and all periodontal diseases are bacterial infections that destroy the attachment fibers and supporting bone that hold the teeth in the mouth. To take steps toward preventing periodontal disease, Dr. Ashalatha Kancharla of Complete Care Family Dentistry utilizes ARESTIN, an antibiotic that fights infection where it starts.

ARESTIN is indicated as a supplement to scaling and root planing (SRP) procedures for reduction of pocket depth in patients with adult periodontitis. ARESTIN is different from an antibiotic pill, because it is placed right where you need it. A pill can’t give you the level of antibiotic concentration in your gums that ARESTIN can, because ARESTIN contains microspheres –tiny particles – that are smaller than grains of sand and are not visible to the eye. The microspheres are filled with the antibiotic minocycline hydrochloride. These microspheres release the antibiotic over time, killing bacteria so your gums can heal better than with SRP alone.

If you suffer from inflamed gums, schedule a consultation to assess your gum disease so that Dr. Kancharla can help you manage it.
