What is Gum Disease?
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a chronic bacterial infection that damages soft tissue. Without treatment, it can destroy the gums and bone that support your teeth.

Gum disease can be serious

As a non-curable infection, gum disease calls for urgent action and should be managed as a chronic, lifelong disease.
The sooner it's addressed, the better. Fortunately, there are effective treatments that include antibiotics like ARESTIN.
ARESTIN is used in combination with scaling and root planing (SRP) procedures to treat patients with adult periodontitis (gum disease). ARESTIN may be used as part of an overall oral health program that includes good brushing and flossing habits and SRP.
How ARESTIN treats gum disease
Applied directly to pockets in the gums by a dentist or hygienist, ARESTIN is an antibiotic that targets and fights the infection that causes gum disease.
ARESTIN isn't a pill. It's an antibiotic applied directly at the site of infection, helping you keep gum disease in check.

Important Safety Information
- Do not take ARESTIN if you are allergic to minocycline or tetracyclines. Ask your dentist or pharmacist for a list of these drugs if you are not sure. Swelling of the face, itching of the skin, fever and enlarged lymph nodes have been reported with the use of ARESTIN. Some of these reactions were serious. Tell your dentist right away if you have any signs of allergic reaction, such as skin reactions or trouble breathing, or if you have an exaggerated sunburn reaction.
