Advanced Medications

Recent advances in periodontal treatment allow us to now place medications directly at the site of infection. Two of the most commonly used medications of this kind are:


Atridox™	Arestin™

These are often used in conjuction with scaling and root planing. In addition, an antimicrobial rinse is sometimes used after some procedures.

Oral Medications

A new medication called Periostat® has been developed specifically to combat periodontal infection by bolstering your body's immune response to bacteria that cause periodontal disease. Dr. Farahmand will evalute your specific case to see if Periostat® is right for you.
