ARESTIN® Therapy for Gum Disease in Portland, Texas

Gum Disease Treatment

Periodontal disease is a serious infection under your gum line.

ARESTIN® is a targeted prescription antibiotic placed directly into infected “periodontal pockets” right after scaling and root planing the deep cleaning procedure that clears plaque below the gum line where brushing and flossing cannot reach.

• Fast-Acting: Starts working instantly at the source of infection.
• Long-Lasting: Fights bacteria and inflammation for 30 days,² delivering superior clinical results for up to 90 days.³

Whether saving your natural smile or protecting a dental implant, keeping your gums healthy is vital. If an advanced infection causes painful swelling, our team acts as the emergency dentist Portland TX counts on for same-day relief.
