Contact UsWhat Is Periodontal Disease Treatment?
Periodontal disease is composed of three progressive levels: gingivitis, periodontitis, and advanced periodontitis. Identifying and treating gum disease early can help stop it from progressing. Dr. Junée F. Gardy in Naples, FL performs a range of options to treat periodontal disease, including antibiotic periodontal therapy. If you have periodontitis, ARESTIN® is an antibiotic combined with scaling and root planing (SRP) that may be used for treatment. Call Junée F. Gardy DDS, PA to plan your twice-yearly dental exam and learn about antibiotic periodontal therapy.
What to Expect from Periodontal Disease Treatment
To address periodontitis, the next level of periodontal disease, scaling and root planing procedures are typically done and may be coupled with ARESTIN for antibiotic periodontal therapy. To begin, Dr. Gardy will perform the SRP procedure by using a root scaler and hand tools to remove built-up plaque from your gum pockets. The tooth root surfaces will then be evened out or planed to minimize the areas where disease-causing bacteria might accumulate. Afterward, ARESTIN will be administered directly into the infected area. ARESTIN can be applied during the same visit as your SRP procedure or at a follow-up visit, depending on what you prefer. After your gums are treated, it's important to maintain an oral hygiene regimen at home to assist with healing.
