		What is ARESTIN®? ARESTIN is a prescription antibiotic approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is used together with scaling and root planing (SRP) procedures performed by a trained dental professional for the treatment of periodontal (gum) disease. How does ARESTIN® work? ARESTIN® contains microspheres—tiny, bead-like 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. Why should I choose ARESTIN®? ARESTIN® with SRP is nearly 3x more likely to result in successful treatment than SRP alone Getting treatment is painless since ARESTIN® will dissolve on its own ARESTIN® is different from antibiotic pills, it provides antibiotic concentration in your gums *Learn more about effectiveness and other treatment details at www.arestin.com
