WHEN TREATING PERIODONTAL DISEASE, BOTH PIECES ARE ESSENTIAL
Enhance pocket depth reduction by incorporating ARESTIN® alongside scaling and root planing (SRP) as soon as signs of periodontal disease emerge.
Periodontal disease affects millions and can have costly consequences
About 64.7 million Americans have periodontal disease
Among adults, it's the #1 cause of tooth loss
Periodontal disease is also associated with multiple systemic conditions and can affect overall health
SRP alone may not be enough
Bacteria responsible for periodontal disease can reappear shortly after scaling and root planing (SRP), sometimes within days or months.
To prevent the progression of infection, it's crucial to treat it early and thoroughly. Delayed or incomplete treatment increases the likelihood that patients may require:
PAINFUL ORAL SURGERY
TO HAVE TEETH REMOVED
TO PAY EXPENSIVE DENTAL BILLS
How ARESTIN + SRP can help...
Bacteria Can Hide Out Of Reach
In the absence of an antibiotic, the initial levels of bacteria may reappear within a few days following SRP.
