Gum Disease Treatment
Periodontal (gum) disease is insidious. It is an infection of the gums that starts out as plaque, an opaque film on the teeth that hardens to form tartar.
Gum disease treatment, antibiotic treatments, occlusal adjustments, and biopsy & cancer screenings.
ARESTIN®
ARESTIN® (minocycline hydrochloride) Microspheres, 1 mg is an effective antibiotic treatment for periodontal disease that comes in powder form.
Occlusal Adjustment
An occlusal adjustment corrects the alignment of the bite, that is a result of loose, shifting, crowded, or missing teeth.
Biopsy and Oral Cancer Screening
The role of a biopsy in the dental industry is to diagnose oral cancer. In these instances, a brush biopsy is used to identify oral lesions that warrant further attention.
